Philadelphia – The personal diary of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), first President of Ghana, was returned to his family and country today. By order of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the diary was released directly into the hands of President Nkrumah’s daughter, the Honorable Samia Yaba Nkrumah, M.P.
I was fortunate to attend a welcoming reception for Samia Nkrumah at the African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) immediately after she reclaimed Dr. Nkrumah’s diary for the people of Ghana.
