“This mid-twentieth century is Africa’s. This decade is the decade of African independence. Forward then, to independence. To independence now. Tomorrow, the united states of Africa.” It was with these words that Kwame Nkrumah concluded his speech at the opening ceremony of the All-African People’s conference in 1958.

And even after freedom, the nationality and nationhood of the new American people was not an easy grasp.
