Malcolm X -1964
In 1964, iconic African-American activist, Malcolm X, visited Ghana as part of his African tour to encourage the African diaspora to travel back to their roots and solidify black unity all over the world.
A committee was set up for his visit and Malcolm was taken to see prominent Ghanaians to explain his theories, which had been termed violent by people all over the world thanks to Western media. During his visit, X met with writers, Maya Angelou and Julian Mayfield.
Malcom X gave a resounding speech at the University of Ghana, in which he said :
“I don’t feel that I am a visitor in Ghana or in any part of Africa. I feel that I am at home. I’ve been away for four hundred years, but not of my own volition, not of my own will.”President Nkrumah is doing something there that the government in America does not like to see done, and that is he’s restoring the African image. He is making the African proud of the African image; and whenever the African becomes proud of the African image and this positive image is projected abroad, then the Black man in America, who up to now has had nothing but a negative image of Africa — automatically the image that the Black man in America has of his African brothers changes from negative to positive, and the image that the Black man in America has of himself will also change from negative to positive.
