? The Crown S02.E08: Dear Mrs. Kennedy

This episode opens with an amazing shot of two large and beautiful birds, trotting through a gorgeous hallway in Accra, Ghana, as we join a meeting in progress among leaders of several African nations. Four men come into the hallway and remove a large portrait of the Queen as Ghanaian Prime Minister (and eventual President) Kwame Nkrumah speaks. He passionately exclaims that "the time has come to forge new alliances. Those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat us as equals -- not as subordinates and not as slaves. This is our time. We must choose our own destiny. A socialist Africa! For Africans!"
