| Description: | In 1952 Erica Powell applied successfully for a secretarial job in the colonial Government of the Gold Coast, now Ghana. she had never been to Africa before, but was an experienced secretary and had worked after the war in Austria and Germany. By a stroke of good fortune, she was quickly offered the post of personal secretary to the Governor, Sir Charles Arden-Clarke. After a time, she left the Governor's service and became secretary to Dr Nkrumah. In that capacity she remained at his side from 1955 until he was removed from power in a coup in February 1966. |
| Key Points: | From her exceptional vantage point, Erica Powell saw Kwame Nkrumah emerge into a world figure - as leader of the first colonial territory in black Africa to attain independence, and continuing the fight for an end to colonialism and neo-colonialism throughout the continent. |
