African President of the Week: Zambian President, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda
In coordination with the American Mastodon Publication (AMP) and the release of The African Census 2020-2021, the AMP publishes a weekly honorary award to African Presidents, who've transcended the tumultuous pressure to capitalize and Occidentalize their national realms in the face of modernization. These contemporary figures exemplify the courage, understanding, vigilance, and sophisticated posturement, in the face of true orchestrated violence, pressing foreign interests, and the gravity of the present needs of their citizens, and the people of Africa. The African Presidents of the Week, are our Beacons of Progress into the African 21st Century and beyond.
"The world needs to know the story of Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, the world needs to know that even in troubled times, trouble in the world, where we are faced with war, where we are faced with angish, when we are faced with hatred, there is still a man, who loves you and me, irrespective of where you come from, and irrespective of the color. It is very rare in these times. It is time the world stood up and gave credit to this great man. A son of Africa, son of Zambia, and son of the world. -CTGN Correspondent."
The significance of successfully obtaining independence from the mighty British African Colonial Empire and leading a nation against their oppressors in a peaceful movement for liberation, is such a profound testimony, the message is a lesson of what is possible in today's war-torn world. Dr. Kenneth Kaunda was the first and founding President of Zambia, during the wave of Pan-African Independence Movements in the late 20th Century. His model of Peaceful transition, was used to assist fellow African Nations, who sued for independence and self-determination. The vision and framework laid under his leadership, has lead Zambia to a bright and prosperous future. Join The American Mastodon Publication in celebrating, our African President of the Week, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda.
