Founder’s Day is a national public holiday in Ghana celebrated on August 4th to commemorate the contributions of all the people, notably the “Big Six” who led the struggle for Ghana’s independence. It is the date for the formation of the Aborigines’ Rights Protection Society by John Mensah Sarbah in 1897, and the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) in 1947 by J.B. Danquah and George Alfred “Paa” Grant. The holiday is a day to honor the cultural heritage of Ghana and the brave individuals who fought for the country’s independence.
