This year, 2019 has been declared, “Year of Return” by the Ghanaian government in commemoration of 400 years since the first African slaves arrived in what is, today, the U.S.

It was launched last year in Washington, D.C., by Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo, for Africans in the diaspora to visit the West African country.
