- Figure 10. “On March 6, 1961, Ghanaian students and Ghanaian guests at the spring trade fair mark the fourth anniversary of their independence with a dignified ceremony. The leader of the delegation from Ghana, Minister of Agriculture Kojo Botsio, called on the students to use their East German socialist education wisely. ‘Our future, the future of the entire world, lies in socialism.’” Native music played in the background.” (caption text from Bundesarchiv). The emphasis on socialism in the speech and the Ghanaian music being played were typical of such national independence celebrations, which were normally sponsored by NHG.
