Time's Ticking! Just like homemade injera, our Tewahedo exhibition won't last forever! This is your last chance to explore Ethiopia’s ancient Orthodox Christian faith through the photographs. Ends: February 2, 2025. Don’t miss out on this final opportunity to visit the exhibition
On September 21, 1960, Kwame Nkrumah marked his 51st birthday not at home, but on a plane bound for New York. He was en route to the United Nations General Assembly, where he would deliver one of his most historic speeches, calling for Africa’s freedom & unity.

El @DikanCenter alberga la mayor biblioteca gráfica de África, con más de 30.000 libros que narran su historia visual. "África estaba siendo narrada por forasteros, y la gente local carecía de voz propia" , explica su fundador @joostbastmeijer elpais.com/planeta-futuro/20…
🇬🇭 68 YEARS AGO, HISTORY WAS MADE!
Ghana became the first African nation south of the Sahara to be independent. Today, we honor our heroes, cherish our heritage, and proudly celebrate our journey. This is our story. Our pride. Our Ghana. Happy Independence Day!
