Casely Hayford founded the National Congress of British West Africa in 1920. He also formed the West Africa’s Nationalist Movement. Brittany writes that ‘In 1920, along with T. Hutton Mills, Casely Hayford founded the National Congress of British West Africa (NCBWA), a major political movement in West Africa that worked toward African liberation’ (Brittany 2017). He also met with W.E.B Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Through his continuous works for the proclamation of Africans’ rights and Independence, Casely wrote other books that continue to establish and foreground his undying interests in land issues, African religion, etc. The titles of his other books include Gold Coast Land Tenure and the Forest Bill (1911); The Truth about the West African Land Question (1913); William Waddy Harris: The Man and His Message (1916), United West Africa (1919);
and The Disabilities of Black Folk (1929).
