Speaker Pelosi, joined by the Black Caucus in the House of the U. S government and U. S Ambassador to Ghana, Stephanie S. Sullivan, was met by Director of the Mausoleum, Alhaji Osman, who welcomed them to the complex dedicated to Ghana\u2019s First President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n

The group together, laid a wreath beneath the Kwame Nkrumah Statue, and observed a minute of silence in remembrance of the prominent Ghanaian leader.<\/p>\n

They were then led by tour guides: Edmund Quao and Agatha Gosu-Dinku, into the mausoleum, which houses the bodies of Kwame Nkrumah and his wife, Fathia Nkrumah.<\/p>\n

The building designed by Don Arthur, represents an upside down sword, which in Akan culture is a symbol of peace.<\/p>\n

Speaker Pelosi\u2019s visit to the mausoleum formed part of activities of the high level U. S Congressional delegation to Ghana.<\/p>\n

She and her delegation touched down on Sunday afternoon and were met by the Speaker of Parliament, Mike Aaron Ocquaye, some members of Parliament, as well as other dignitaries, at the Kotoka International Airport.<\/p>\n
