Experiences from the 50's in Ghana

Being in Africa not only blew us away but it was the stories that was told by elders.  Many of us as born Black Americans couldn't fathom the types of experiences and history from an African perspective that were in front of us at this time.  Nana Apaa painted just a brief picture of what took place in Ghana as they were getting ready to be the 
FIRST African country to gain it's Independence from the original colonial masters, the Europeans.  He had first hand knowledge and experience of these events.  He tells us his story while we are in awe.  My colleague and best friend Jennifer White gives sincere gifts as he explains his story. There will be a part two to the rest of his story in 2009.
