Wikipedia description:
The Institute of African Studies, on the Anne Jiagee Road on the campus of the University of Ghana at Legon, is an interdisciplinary research institute in the humanities and social sciences. It was established by President Kwame Nkrumah in 1962 to encourage African studies. Thomas Lionel Hodgkin served as the first Director, from 1962 to 1965. On 25 October 1963, President Nkrumah gave an inaugural address at the institute, entitled "The African Genius", in which he called for the recovery of African traditions and an African-centered approach to knowledge.
