ABSTRACT
Pupils will initially use their computing information finding skills to learn about the history of Kwame Nkrumah’s Pan-African ideas in the development of the country that is now known as Ghana and the social justice legacies that were developed as a result. They will use their notes about Kwame Nkrumah and his political ideas as research to compare to recent articles of the Year of Return tourism campaign in order to make meaningful links and develop thoughts about how political ideas are used and developed as solutions to systemic problems. Kwame Nkrumah was a Ghanaian academic, revolutionary and politician. Prior to his presidency, Nkrumah lived in London and Harlem, New York, and had travelled to Nigeria and Ethiopia. Ghana was a trading hub for Europeans throughout the transatlantic slave trade. In many ways, the social and emotional disparities between the characters were believed to be representative of the complications surrounding black unity and Pan-African ideals within the African diaspora.
