The publication of his book "African Nationalism" and its immediate prohibition by the minority government of Ian Smith, motivated his entry into politics. During his studies in the USA he studied at the Andover Newton Theological School and attended the First Church in Newton, founded in 1665, both located in Newton, Massachusetts.
