August 4th has been chosen as the date for Founders’ Day as it marks two important events in Ghana’s history.
It is the date for the formation of the Aborigines’ Rights Protection Society by John Mensah Sarbah in 1897, and the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) in 1947 by J.B.
Founders’ Day is observed to commemorate the contributions of all the people, notably the “Big Six” who led the struggle for Ghana’s independence,
Today, we celebrate the heroes (and sheroes) and everything that they have done for the nation.
