When Africa Remembered Its Name

They overthrew the man. They could not kill the dream. On a February night in 1966, while Kwame Nkrumah‘s plane sped toward a peace mission in Vietnam, CIA-backed soldiers stormed Ghana‘s Flagstaff House. They found no hidden millions-only three worn suits, a chipped coffee pot, and seventeen thousand books filled with dangerous ideas. When Africa Remembered Its Name is more than history. It is a seismic reclamation, a blazing epic that resurrects the spirit of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, from the red earth of Nkroful to the charged halls of global power, exposing the betrayal that tried to silence a continent‘s awakening. Larry Traveller‘s masterful narrative brings to life: * The Boy - a dreamer standing in a storm, begging God for purpose. * The Revolutionary - the Lincoln University scholar who forged a weapon from Marxist theory and African wisdom, shaping a young Malcolm X in Harlem‘s hidden clubs. * The President - the visionary who built dams, factories, schools, even a nuclear program, while fueling liberation movements across Africa. * The Exile - a leader drafting Africa‘s blueprint for unity as illness ravaged his body. This is also the story of the women who kept the fire alive: Nyaniba, the defiant mother whose love became a living curse. Fathia, the Egyptian first lady turned shield of quiet resistance, and the market women, students, and fishermen who guarded the truth with their lives. From coded conspiracies in London tailor shops to the heartbreaking refusal of Guinea‘s Sékou Touré to return Nkrumah‘s body to the generals who betrayed him, this book unmasks the machinery of neocolonialism and celebrates the unstoppable will of a people reclaiming their destiny. For readers of Yaa Gyasi‘s Homegoing, Marlon James‘s Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, this is more than biography. It is a call to arms, a healing of memory, and a triumphant answer to the question: What happens when a continent, long forced to forget, finally remembers its name?
