Just a little note in passing: The school in Chicago (I think it is a charter) that Jeremigh Wright’s church has founded and that JW encouraged his children to attend and which opened last fall is named in honor of Kwame Nkrumah.

"...Trinity's own Roman-like architecture is unfamiliar for a church, which might explain why some outsiders found it cultish and strange. The congregation meets in a theater-in-the round, designed after secular buildings like the Parthenon and the U.S. Congress. Stained-glass windows flanking the entrance feature images of African-American leaders, not saints: W.E.B. Du Bois, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. There is also a glass sculpture of a man resembling Obama.
