W. E. B. Du Bois Memorial Centre for Pan African Culture

W. E. B. Du Bois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture is a memorial place, a research facility and tourist attraction in the Cantonments area of Accra, Ghana, that was opened to the public in 1985. It is named in dedication to W. E. B. Du Bois, an African-American historian and pan-Africanist who became a citizen of Ghana in the early 1960s.[1] He lived there in his last few years at the invitation of President Kwame Nkrumah, while compiling the Encyclopedia Africana.[2] In 2023 the Ghanaian government announced a long-term agreement with the W. E. B. Du Bois Museum Foundation to restore, rebuild, and expand the facility into a major Pan-African historical, educational, and cultural complex.
