National Congress of British West Africa
The National Congress of British West Africa (NCBWA), founded in 1920, was a political organization in the Gold Coast. It was largely composed of an educated elite in the colony, who felt under threat from the incorporation of 'traditional authorities' in the colonial system.[1]
The cofounders included Thomas Hutton-Mills, the first President, and J. E. Casely Hayford, the first Vice-President. Other co-founders and early officials included F. V. Nanka-Bruce, A. B. Quartey-Papafio, H. van Hien, A. Sawyerr and Kobina Sekyi.[1]
