The Symbols Of Central Unity In Conakry In 1965

GUINEA - JANUARY 01: On a large sign covering the central part of the entrance hall to the Peoples Palace in Conakry, in 1965, three values are represented : that of work, symbolized by a woman holding a sickle, cultural tradition by a drum player and the struggle for national independence by a man armed with a torch and rifle. Guinea gained independence from France in 1946. The country was then led by the Socialist dictator Sekou TOURE, champion of Pan-Africanism. (Photo by Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images)
