Final Project
editOn 15 April 1958, in Accra, Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah called together African leaders and political activists to gather at the first Conference of Independent African States. Later On the 25th of May in 1963, thirty one African Heads of state had come together in a meeting. In this meeting, they found Organization of African Unity (UAO) and changed African Liberation Day to May 25th. This day is the symbol of the achievements and the developments that African countries did since 1960, which was when 17 African countries got their independence. It isn’t celebrated not only in African countries, but also, every country that black people live in. For instance, in Washington DC, so many black people came out to celebrate this day. They colored themselves with the Liberation colors – red, black, and green. These people came out to honor all the heroes who fought hard to achieve freedom from colonial forces; they want to flee Africans.
