African Leader Summit, 1967 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The Summit Conference of East and Central Africa—held in Kampala, Uganda in December 1967—brought together a number of figures who were or would become extremely significant in modern African history. This photograph provides an interesting glimpse of these leaders at a somewhat unguarded moment—Julius Nyerere and Jean-Bédel Bokassa appear to be sharing a joke, which also amuses Grégoire Kayibanda, Milton Obote, and Kenneth Kaunda. Six of the ten leaders identified here would eventually be overthrown. Three would go down in infamy as ruthless, corrupt dictators. Two remained active in politics into the 21st century. This interactive illustration contains more information about these leaders. | ||||||
