Today we recognise the birth of the Immortal Pan-Africanist, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the architect of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party and one of the foremost strategists and organisers of the African Revolution. Dr. Nkrumah was a true Pan-Africanist fighting against capitalism and imperialism and dedicating his life to the liberation and unity of Africa. Under his courageous leadership and through the work of organised cadres, Ghana became independent and served as a liberation base from which other just liberation struggles could be supported. Through political education and scientific organisation, the masses were mobilised to seize their destiny and break the chains of British imperialism. Nkrumah reminded us: “Our independence is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the African continent.” His most lasting contribution was his tireless commitment to the unity of Africa and all African people throughout the Pan-African Diaspora, and to the destruction of imperialism. Among his greatest contributions to our revolutionary struggle was the understanding that we must remain committed to Revolutionary Ideology, Revolutionary Organization and Revolutionary Unity amongst all Africans and international revolutionaries. Today, we honour his birth by studying his life and work, strengthening revolutionary organisation, and continuing the struggle for the total liberation and unification of Africa. Forward Ever, Backward Never! #AAPRP #PAIGC70 #panafricanism #nkrumah
