Kwame Nkrumah
Warrior King
From the Series Difference Makers
For more than a century, Ghana was under colonial rule—until one man led the charge for freedom.
Kwame Nkrumah, the country’s first Prime Minister and later President, played a crucial role in ending Ghana’s oppression and establishing it as a sovereign nation after more than a century of colonial rule and also inspired liberation movements across Africa.
His leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to justice made him a pivotal figure in African history. This compelling story introduces young readers to a leader who fought against oppression and changed the course of a nation. Perfect for classrooms and libraries, this book encourages discussions about leadership, resilience, and the power of one person to inspire change across a continent.
