Ghana's Independence and Decolonization

Listen Thursday, Mar. 1, 2007 at 1:06 p.m. in Economy, Politics

Fifty years ago, the West African nation of Ghana -- led by the charismatic Kwame Nkrumah -- gained independence from Britain. It was a watershed moment that had a ripple effect across the continent and throughout the African diaspora. Kojo explores that history and looks at Ghana's evolving role in African politics, economics and culture.
