Congo's first prime minister: one speech made him the empire's target

“History will one day have its say… Africa will write its own history.” — last letter to his wife from prison, 1960

Independence leader and first prime minister of the Congo. His unscheduled 1960 independence-day speech indicting colonial violence before King Baudouin made him a global symbol; within three months he was deposed and the following year killed with CIA and Belgian complicity.
