The commemorative event for the 61st anniversary of the passing of American sociologist Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois was held on Wednesday, August 27, 2024, at the Du Bois Centre in Accra.
The event was attended by dignitaries and celebrities, including the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo; the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia E. Palmer; the Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku-Mantey; rap icon E.L.; veteran actress Akofa Edjeani Asiedu; and the CEO of the National Film Authority, Juliet Asante.
