\"\"<\/a>Mrs Bernice Ann Deh-Kumah, Acting Director of the W.E.B Du-Bois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture, has charged Africans to add value to their cultural heritage for the advancement of Africa.<\/p>\n

She said Africans must take up the fight to blend technology and socio-economic activities to propel the development drive of the Continent.<\/p>\n

Mrs Deh-Kumah was speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra at the second edition of African Fashion Night in Accra, organized by Ghana Textiles Printing (GTP) Limited.<\/p>\n

The Acting Director said: \u201cThe Asian tigers- the Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and the Singaporean always return to their motherland to build upon their economies with whatever technological skills they have acquired from the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Deh-Kumah said the land tenure system in Africa, which often attract multi sales of lands to land developers was another problem hindering the development of the Continent.<\/p>\n

She said as an intellectual institute established in 1985, the Du-Bois Memorial Centre\u00a0 did not only showcase the legacy of Dr Du-Bois, a Pan Africanist but other astute African leaders, who contributed to the liberation of Africans.<\/p>\n

It has materials on West African tourist sites as well as a research facility, a museum with valuable collections of Du-Bois personal effects and more than 1,000 volumes of reading materials on Pan-Africanism.<\/p>\n

Mrs Deh-Kumah said the week-long second edition of \u201cAfrican Fashion Night\u201d was part of the programme for the African Unity month and would be climax on June 4, with a fashion show.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s African Fashion Show Night is \u201cCulture through Fashion by Way of Showcasing the Uniqueness of African Wear and its Contribution to the African Culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
