Kwame Nkrumah x QEII Dancing - all over print Tshirt

Ghana was the first western African country to achieve independence from European colonization.^[2] British rule ended in 1957, when the Ghana Independence Act 1957transformed the British Crown Colony of the Gold Coast into the independent sovereign state of Ghana, with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state on 6 March 1957.^[1] Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent represented the Queen at the independence celebrations.

It's a high-stakes political gamble that could decide the balance of Soviet power in Africa, which in the early 1960s was fast emerging as a Cold War battleground. To everyone's relief, the dance is a success. The implication is that, in exchange for his photo op dancing with the queen, Nkrumah will "come back to the fold" and squash Soviet hopes for Africa. Later, JFK (Michael Hall) crows to Jackie that her jab at the queen precipitated a major foreign policy victory for the U.S. and U.K. It's the foxtrot that changes the course of history.
