Ghana's Father of the Fatherland, Kwame Nkrumah, has a last resting place in style: a Mausoleum in a friendly park right in Accra, the capital of the country that achieved independence under his guidance.
I walked towards the Mausoleum itself, first pausing at the bronze statue of Kwame Nkrumah towering high above me, and seemingly pointing towards the road ahead. This is, in fact, precisely the spot used by Kwame Nkrumah to declare Ghana independent on March 6, 1957. In the top of the monument, inevitably, the Black Star that is so typical for Ghana, symbolizing African freedom, also to be found in the flag of Ghana. The grey mausoleum stands on a small island and can be reached by concrete bridges. Inside, you can find a straightforward last resting place. The museum behind the mausoleum is worthwile, if only to see the small items that Kwame Nkrumah used during his life.
