They overthrew the man. They could not kill the dream. On a February night in 1966, while Kwame Nkrumah's plane sped toward a peace mission in Vietnam, CIA backed soldiers stormed Ghana's Flagstaff House. They found no hidden millions; only three worn suits, a chipped coffee pot, and seventeen thousand books filled with dangerous ideas. When Africa Remembered Its Name is more than history.

They overthrew the man. They could not kill the dream. On a February night in 1966, while Kwame Nkrumah's plane sped toward a peace mission in Vietnam, CIA backed soldiers stormed Ghana's Flagstaff House. They found no hidden millions; only three worn suits, a chipped coffee pot, and seventeen thousand books filled with dangerous ideas. When Africa Remembered Its Name is more than history. It is a seismic reclamation, a blazing epic that resurrects the spirit of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, from the red earth of Nkroful to the charged halls of global power, exposing the betrayal that tried to silence a continent's awakening. From secret societies beneath London's streets to whispered prayers in Harlem basements... from rebel classrooms in Accra to the blood-soaked courtyards of Christiansborg Castle, this spellbinding novel follows a visionary who dared to drag Africa back from the edge of erasure. But what happens when your own people no longer see the chains you're trying to break? When Africa Remembered Its Name is a breathtaking fusion of myth and memory, of power and betrayal. It is a literary resurrection of a revolution nearly buried. Once you start, you'll never see Africa or power the same way again. For readers of Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing, Marlon James's Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, this is more than biography. It is a call to all descendants of Africa to awaken, a healing of memory, and a triumphant answer to the question: What happens when a continent, long forced to forget, finally remembers its name?
Autorenporträt
Larry Traveller is a Ghanaian writer, poet, visionary storyteller, and Pan-African activist committed to unearthing buried truths and restoring the dignity of a continent long misrepresented. His work stands at the intersection of memory, resistance, and cultural resurrection-where oral tradition meets archival research and where the past is not merely remembered but reawakened. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Exodus to Africa Limited and the Exodus to Africa Foundation, Traveller leads a revolutionary mission to reconnect African descendants across the diaspora with their ancestral homeland-not as tourists but as builders, returnees, and co-authors of Africa's unfinished story. His advocacy blends grassroots mobilization, digital innovation, and cultural diplomacy, driven by the belief that Africa's liberation is incomplete without its scattered children. When Africa Remembered Its Name is Larry's debut historical work-a vivid and poetic excavation of Ghana's first President, Kwame Nkrumah, and the sabotage of his dream. Through meticulously reconstructed scenes, declassified documents, ancestral rituals, and imagined reckonings, the book exposes the global forces behind the 1966 coup and honors those who refused to forget. Larry writes with the fire of a griot and the precision of a historian. His voice echoes that of a generation raised in exile, silence, and contradiction-but determined to reclaim the narrative. Whether speaking in marketplaces, on academic panels, or through digital platforms, he invites Africans everywhere to remember boldly, speak truthfully, and walk forward with ancestral clarity. He lives between Accra, memory, and the rising dream of a united Africa.
