Keynote: "As I Face America: Reading The Souls of Black Folk Out of Africa"
Willingham Auditorium.
Kwaku Larbi Korang, University of Illinois, African Studies.
Kwaku Larbi Korang is an Assistant Professor of English and African Studies at the
University of Illinois. He is a citizen of Ghana which makes him a fellow countryman of
W.E.B. Du Bois who, as the "Gran’ Old Man" of Pan-Africanism, spent his
last years in Accra, Ghana. The presence in Ghana of political and cultural notables like
Du Bois, George Padmore, Maya Angelou, under the Pan-African auspices of President
Nkrumah, did for a time make this country "the largest exporter of the Pan-African
revolution." Himself a committed Pan-Africanist, Kwaku Larbi Korang was only four
when Du Bois died (1963), and six when, in February 1966, Nkrumah was overthrown in a
CIA-sponsored military coup d'etat. Hence he does not remember the great Pan-African
goings-on in Ghana of the era. His paper, however, is conceived in commemorative
remembrance, in a mode of working himself into the spirit of Pan-African cooperation for
which the 1950s and 1960s were outstanding. What he does remember from the mid-1960s,
though, is the excitement of Ghanaians when the "soul of black folk" came to
Independence Square, Accra, in the concert dubbed "Soul to Soul." If the likes
of Les McCann, Ike and Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett, Voices of East Harlem, revealed the
undiminished soul-power of Africa in America, he claims that, too, as an inspiration for
his paper.
