African Centered Education and the Struggle in Ghana - Imole Mosi Chukwu Oyeh

What does it mean to truly live Pan-Africanism rather than just talk about it? Brother Imoli answers this question with his life story – a 25-year journey that took him from Seattle activism to founding a revolutionary school in Ghana based on the principles of Pan-Africanism and Nkrumahism.

In this profound conversation, Imoli shares how his path began when he was introduced to Pan-African thought at the University of District Columbia, leading him to organize with Kwame Ture and other revolutionary leaders. Inspired by Mangaliso Sobukwe's armed struggle against white settler colonialism in South Africa, Imoli came to understand that true liberation required returning to African soil. "We need to go home where our own land is, where we can stand on our land, and it's ours," he explains with conviction.

Since 1999, Brother Imoli hasn't left the African continent. His People's School for Positive Education (Kwame Nkrumah School) represents a remarkable achievement – a place where African identity is celebrated rather than suppressed. Every person associated with the school, from students to security staff, must use traditional African names and memorize the school's Pan-African philosophy. This stands in stark contrast to the neo-colonial education system where students are punished for speaking their native languages.

The conversation delves into challenging topics: the psychological effects of colonialism manifested in skin bleaching, the pervasive influence of foreign religions, and the struggle against neo-colonial governments with U.S. military bases on their soil. Yet through it all, Brother Imoli offers practical guidance for everyday Pan-Africanism: adopt an African name, wear African clothes, learn about Africa daily, and organize with others committed to continental unity.

With over 150 graduates who've gone on to become professionals, Imoli's school demonstrates the power of education rooted in African identity. His upcoming autobiography promises to further illuminate connections between Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, challenging historical misconceptions while strengthening the bonds of shared ancestry.
