I believe the pictures speak for themselves, but let me say it anyway: Ghana obtained independence from Britain exactly 53 years Saturday 6 March, 1957, with the memorable words ushered by great Pan-Africanist and founder of Ghana Dr.Kwame Nkrumah:
"At long last, the battle has ended. Ghana--our beloved country--is free forever!"
There have naturally been reminders of this on television and radio, and for those alien to Ghanaian culture (am unsure how you can be if you've been following this blog for almost 4 years now;-) ) there's a website to find out more:

Haapy independence day!!!
Happy Independence day to you! I'm from a country that has a similar colonial past and is not too much older in terms of Independence from you. But I certainly hope that countries like ours do a much better job in the decade to come and move towards better and bigger things.
Happy Independence Day! Celebrate!
We are celebrating our 150th anniversary of our city of Eagan today!
