Kwame Nkrumah

Kwame Nkrumah (September 21, 1909 - April 27, 1972) was a Ghanaian politician and one of the most influential founders of Pan-Africanism.

Exile, death and memorial

Nkrumah never returned to Ghana, but he did continue to push for his vision of African unity. He lived in exile in Guinea but died while in Romania seeking medical treatment in April 1972. He was buried in Ghana in a tomb (still present) at the village of his birth, Nkroful, but his remains were later transferred to a large national memorial tomb and park in Accra.
