ALD: a brief history-
African Liberation Day (ALD) was born out of the conscious struggle of African People against oppression. Originally called Africa Freedom Day, ALD was proclaimed in 1958 at the First Conference of Independent African States in Accra, Ghana. Later, upon the founding of the Organization of African Unity, 31 heads of African states declared May 25, 1963, as African Liberation Day. This important, historic event has been observed and institutionalized in various places worldwide, every year since its' inception.
