Photo Title	President Kwame Nkrumah at Achimota, Ghana
Photo Description	I took this photo in late August or early September 1963 outside the chapel at Achimota School, Accra, Ghana, during my assignment as a secondary school teacher there. President Kwame Nkrumah was present for the official memorial service for W.E.B. DuBois, who had died a few days earlier. This picture was taken as the president was leaving at the end of the service. I believe the car is a Russian Chaika limousine. Anyone familiar with the Achimota campus will recognize well-known landmarks in the reflection.
