Title: Kwame Nkrumah
Description: This is the extraordinary story of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first President, whose determination to change not only his own life but the lives of his people was realized in the independence of his nation. He has contributed greatly to the development of an African identity and is considered a thought-leader on the continent. His accomplishments are vast and his beginnings incredibly humble: we learn that while studying abroad he struggled so hard to make ends meet that he occasionally went homeless and hungry. But his iron will never faltered and it was this conviction that rightfully earned him several degrees, his presidency and his people's freedom.
