February 24 marks sixty years since Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was overthrown in a military coup. Nkrumah had been a vocal campaigner for Pan-Africanism, a United States of Africa that would work together as a political and economic bloc. Howard French, author of the new book, "The Second Emancipation: Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism and Global Blackness at High Tide," discusses Nkrumah's legacy with The World's Host Marco Werman.
