Curating the below pictures of J.E. Casely Hayford, I studied his life and the people and places that shaped him. For example, the picture titled Gold Coast maps Hayford's birthplace/origin. The inclusion of the picture of Blyden offers us a glimpse into the life of one of the people whose teachings impacted significantly the life of J.E. Casely Hayford as a pan Africanist. Also, the pictures of the two schools included also show the high schools attended by J.E. Casely Hayford. Also included are pictures of his father, his wife, his statue, the flag of Gold Coast, and other important pictures that shaped his journey across the passage of life.
