WEB du Bois is considered by many to be one of the fathers of Pan-Africanism. A leading figure behind the Pan-African congresses that ran from 1919 onwards, he became a close friend of Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah - eventually renouncing his US citizenship and becoming Ghanaian on Nkrumah's invitation.

The president also gave him a house in the capital Accra and accorded him a state funeral.

But his former home and his grave are now both in a state of disrepair– leading a group of campaigners to pledge to raise millions of dollars to build a new museum on the site.

Today in Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja asks his supporters why they think his legacy is still important today.
