September 7, 1957—Ghana becomes the first African country to break from White colonial rule and become an independent nation. The West African nation, once known as the Gold Coast, was led to independence by the dynamic Pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah.
The U.S. educated Nkrumah would be overthrown in a military coup in 1966. He befriended American activists ranging from W.E.B DuBois to Martin Luther King Jr.

Few of you are nearby, but maybe you know someone:
🚨Urgent plea for help🆘‼️
We really need help from our supporters. We have 6 dogs in our community that are at risk of euthanasia. Our facility is currently at capacity. If you have ever considered fostering, now is the time. Fostering one dog saves 2 lives because it creates a space for a pet in need. If you cannot foster, please share so that we can get these deserving dogs to safety! ...
Once in my old writers group, a guy arrived with a poem that was worded differently but followed concept for concept "The Raven." He said, no it wasn't some kind of writing practice. He swore he'd never heard of The Raven. We were dubious. #writing
Ancestry says one of my DNA matches has a tree with 70 people in it. I click on it and see one private person not connected to anyone else. It's rare, but sometimes people have their home person disconnected from everyone else in the tree. I click to see the list of all people. The list doesn't show anyone. 🤔🧐 Perhaps EVERYONE is private. But then why not just have a locked tree? It may be a glitch. Ancestry has many glitches. #Genealogy
