How Ghana commemorated slavery

In December 2019, Ghana climaxed the Year of Return celebrations which, as YEN reported, was to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the African slaves that arrived in America.

So following the big announcement by President Akufo-Addo calling on people of African descent to return to their home, all was set for a showdown in Accra and other parts of the country.

The Year of Return was a success, with December climaxing the program with events planned across Ghana for the visitors. The events included concerts, African-American celebrity sightings, art exhibits, visits to heritage sites, fashion shows, movie premieres, and creative economy and trade conferences.
