  1. Rooney (1988), Kwame Nkrumah, p. 7. "He was born on 21 September 1909, and by local custom, because it was Saturday, he was called Kwame." But cf. Marika Sherwood (1996), Kwame Nkrumah: the years abroad, p. 17: "Kwame Nkrumah was born on Nkroful in the Western Region of Ghana probably on 21 September 1909. The exact date is not known as birth certificates were not issued in those days." With footnote: "In a biography drafted in the USA Nkrumah gave his birthdate as 21 September 1912, though in his autobiography he stated his birthday to be 21 September 1909 GNA:SC21/1/119. Basil Davidson in Black Star (Allen Lane, London, 1973, p. 19) states that Nkrumah's baptismal records give the date as 1909.
