Brothers Malik, Deyda, and others,

While I am trying to catch up with the postings I missed over the break, I
can't help but thank you all for sharing your wisdom with us regarding the
works of Senghore and other African leaders. I am sure many of the younger
ones like me on this forum will gain much from your exchanges on this
topic.
Knowing what we know about our leaders like Senghore, Nkurumah, Toure,
Lumumba etc. and what they have done for the sake of Africa and its people,
albeit in distinct ways and means, what do you think these personalities
would have done different in today’s world? How would they have changed
their struggle if any, based on today’s political, economic and social
environment? Would they have been seen as being "out of touch" with the
realities of the New World order? Would their efforts and tactics be judged
the same way we are doing now? What yardstick would one use to measure
their success or failure then and as if it were now?

Again, thanks all for an enlightening exchange.
