Julius Nyerere digs in, Tanganyika 1963


“To one newly arrived on this coast from West Africa, the most striking thing about Julius K. Nyerere, President of Tanganyika, is the photograph on Page 3 of this newsletter. It is an official picture, used widely on posters and on the 1963 calendar of the Tanganyika African National Union, the governing political party… To my knowledge, no West African chief of state has had himself photographed using an agricultural tool. In West Africa, the visual symbols of government all too often seem to add up to this: mobilization for the masses, Mercedes for the ministers.” [read newsletter]
