March 6th (today) marks the 53rd anniversary of Ghana’s independence, the first sub-saharan African country to do so. A lot can and has happened in the last 53 years. Here are some photos of the day in 1957.

These are great! A fine trip to memory lane. Thanks for sharing and May God Bless Ghana
He was a great man , a man who did for his country not what the country did for him.A man who loved his country so much.
Thanks much for sharing these photos. I love Kwame Nkrumah, and had the privilege of living in Ghana when he was President. He had extraordinary vision, and provided support to freedom-fighters everywhere. .
Nkrumah never dies
Nkrumah will forever live in our hearts. God bless our dear country Ghana
Happy Independence Day to Ghana!
