Walking guide to African Leiden / Wandelgids door Afrikaans Leiden

Leiden has a rich 'Africa history': think of the honorary doctorate awarded to Nelson Mandela in the Pieterskerk, the Africa hall in the National Museum of Ethnology, and the academy building at Rapenburg, where famous Africans like Jacobus Elisa Johannes Capitein (the first black African who obtained a doctor's degree - originally a slave, later a vicar) and Kofi Abrefa Busia (who sebsequently became prime minister of Ghana) spoke their erudite words.
Leiden has many museums, socio-cultural organisations, restaurants and shops where people can discover bits of Africa, like music, trinkets, coffee, health care, textiles, and wall poems. Walk along historical and contemporary sights and discover the rich African culture in Leiden.
