What is the date of independence for Zambia?

Zambia was granted independence by the British Government on October 24th 1964. Zambia's route to autonomy was remarkably unproblematic (and unbloody) largely due to the Choma Declaration - an agreement between Harry Nkumbullah and Kenneth Kaunda - the two main leaders of the Independence movement. Harry Nkumbullah is one of the great forgotten heroes of Africa - sometimes the bravest man of all is the one who gives up his fight for private recognition for the sake of his country.
