Some are openly critical, it's always a hot debate. The political party he founded still exists; it's about as strong as Canada's NDP. Or maybe less so. But the myth of the man remains pretty golden. Personally, I think his despotic tilt started sooner rather than later. But as you know, I was unborn at the time.Chris Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402945887045545024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29187024.post-85332026269739748032007-03-05T02:47:00.000-08:002007-03-05T02:47:00.000-08:00Nope. If I ask you what people think about Nkrume ...Nope. If I ask you what people think about Nkrume today and his idea of pan-Africanism, would you then have a better idea? Seriously.
