Given its history and commitment to the unification of African peoples throughout the world, it’s not surprising that the government of Ghana is sponsoring an unprecedented “Year of Return” in 2019, during which people of African descent in North America and Caribbeans are invited to visit Ghana.
Described as an event to celebrate the resilience of African people and to mark the 400th anniversary of the first Africans being forcibly transported to what is now the United States of America, it was officially launched in August 2018 in Ghana and announced in September at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Ghana Right of Adobe
In 2000, the country passed a law on the ‘Right of Abode’, which allows a person of African descent to apply and be granted the right to stay in Ghana indefinitely. The country also set up a Diaspora Affairs Bureau under the foreign affairs ministry to provide a sustainable link between the Ghanaian diaspora and various government agencies to achieve development and investment goals.
Ghana, from whose shores the majority of 15 million Africans passed into slavery, has invited its descendants in the diaspora to return home. The country has had a long history, from the days of its first president, Kwame Nkrumah, of encouraging the return of persons of African descent to help with the continent’s development.
@Derek Middleton You are correct. As well as you are not. We are not ALL the same. That's where we still buy into the white lie. While we're not all from Africa, we're not indigenous either. Some of us were stolen, sold and taken elsewhere. That happened. Just not on the scale they said it did. "Black" people are also indigenous via exploration and settlement. These people were friendly, traded, made agreements, were tricked, then ENSLAVED. The "indigenous" people we see now are mixed babies from back in the day that kept mixing with white people. All I'm saying with this is, a lot people know, brother. I think there's a language barrier or else it's outright conspiracy against dark…

For those interested Ghana, there are a lot of YouTube videos by diasporas that have relocated to Ghana. Watch those videos and get educated. Also, it’s incumbent on all Black and Brown people in the Americas to visit the motherland in their life time.
