- Looking for things to do in Accra? Travel with Black & Abroad as we take travelers throughout Ghana for the Year of Return.
In August 2019, to commemorate the Year of Return, we brought a group of hand-picked individuals to join us in Ghana for an unforgettable week. We explored the Black history in the Cape Coast, hit the street festival Chale Wote in Jamestown , visited a chief and his village for a ceremony, partied with the locals, and much more.
Want to visit Ghana? Travel with us! We'll cover all of the planning for you. This is what group travel with Black & Abroad looks like.

I am moving to Africa this year,in fact I wanted to move since last year but my intentions are to invest there and make the continent my home.Africa I am coming home from the Caribbean. Let us go back to home my brothers and sisters,let us develop Africa not the west.
Welcome home to the motherland. Wishing you a prosperous success here in Africa. 👍🏾
@@ellemababa4023 thank you my sister,we are moving to Ghana this year,In fact i am already in direct liaison with the government of Ghana with regards to investing in the country,i cannot wait to be honest,and i would like to take the opportunity to encourage my brothers and sisters,in the Caribbean, USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and all over the globe to return to Africa which is the foundation of the earth,as soon as you are able to do so,I LOVE AFRICA,AFRICA ARISE.
Much love, our door is opened
I am always inspired watching these videos of black people in the diaspora going to Africa. As children in Africa, we were always on the look out for black Americans who came to Africa. We wanted to meet them. We thought they were beautiful people...especially their afro hairstyle. Four decades later, I am in the western world dreaming of my homeland.
Proud Ghanaian here living in CT.USA. longlive my motherland. See u soon!

As Diasporarians, I believe we should be vacationing "primarily" in our motherland, for those of us living in America especially.
I mean think about it for a moment, we are surrounded and outnumbered 24/7 in America by whites and other ethnic groups that are hostile towards us, do you really want to pay 3 -$4,000 just to fly somewhere in Europe, Asia or the America's to be around more of them?
Exactly, why keep giving them money to hate us
@@thebridge5483 it shall be well
Vacationing in Africa is a no brainer, “hello”
We ain’t going no where unless Jesus himself says otherwise, you speak as if Africans had no bidding in the Atlantic Slave Trade.
africa for africa. africa connect. africans americans pliz follow us back. business is boooming.this is home. pliz pliz.
Black & Abroad - THank you for this beautiful videoI felt moved in my heart watching from 9000 miles away it, perhaps
this will remind our brothers and sisters born on the conitinent to honor their Afrikan names and (cultures as well) wear them proudly
in honor of our ancestors not the colonizers.
We love you all 🥰🥰
This is nice but don't force them to drink if they want to...
Enslaved people were NOT in castles they were in DUngeons😈😨

I'm missing something because about 85% of the slaves transported from Afrika were taken to Brasil yet I haven't heard every one word about a year of return. Does the year of return only to the decendants of the 3% of Afrikans taken to North America?
The Portuguese had nothing to do with Ghana or the then Gold Coast by 1619 when the first enslaved Africans arrived on the shores of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ghana is focusing on the Caribbeans and African Americans mainly because British colonies shipped slaves to British colonies I'm sure. Have you met a Jamaican? Maybe you should try learning Twi(local Ghanaian language of the Akan people) and patois side by side, lemme know what you discover.
@@rigg13 Correct, then you agree that we were the target of the Year of Return. I heard the speech by the President of Ghana. He said all descendants of the people impacted by the Trans Atlantic slave trade. I didn't hear the US or North America in his speech.
@@rigg13In my opinion it was an US project.
@@sano1062 yes the target of the project was BLACK AMERICANS but also other diasporans at large, for the reason that the 400 years aniiversaries for those other places were already missed, or the african continent and ghana at the time wasnt in the position to be able to commemorate it at the time. Due to constrictions , such as then being a colonized state, lack of reach due to modern technology ( social media , internet , larger diaspora first generations to spread the message etc) . But the main traget was AMERICANS since it was 1419 from jamestown in ghana to jamestwon virginia. and now 2019. Also america was the one who passed the hr19 law, other countries in the western hemisphere with slavery history didnt insituite something like that. nevertheless, since there was a time dedicated for other disapora brazil, cuba , etc the rpesdeitn flew to barbados , jamaica and other places to invite them to come.
Nope. It's to all diaspora that include African latina, African Indians(Siddis), Afro persians, Afro Europeans and African Americans. Now you understand why a call for Learn Kiswahili language as our African continental and diaspora language has been made.
Awesome
wow!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Beautiful
How re you
♥♥❤❤❤👌👌
What is the song? 1:37 anyone?
Gate way to Afrika....
New subbie
I know I am Ghanaian but I was raised by a German family’s now I can’t find my families
You might find them, if you do a dna test using both 23 &me and ancestry, they link you to distant relatives who may have taken the same test, it might help.🤞🏾
It is really simple, if you have an African name you know your real parents name and a specific town they come from in Ghana you will find your people
@@afiaagyeman7362 my African name is Kamkam
@@scottbc27 from which region and town
@@scottbc27 and also even one of your parents African name
But if you know the hometown it will be simple
God bless Ghana and Africa
Love the video
How do you know your ancestors was from Ghana there are alot of countries in Africa
Africa is one people they can stay every where in africa
Exactly my thought truthseeker89 lol
@@ladi-s1331 Thanks for this beautiful reply. 75% of all the slave forts and castles built on the Western African coast are located in Ghana.
@@rigg13 Guys those forts were not constructed for slaving, they were originally constructed for gold and ivory etc and later converted . Current day Togo, Benin and Nigeria on the West coast had way larger numbers of captives sent to the New World, hence the Euros called that part of the continent the Slave Coast
diggiddi Actually those parts were called slaves coast because that’s where the biggest slave markets were located. There were slave markets all over present day Benin and Nigeria. There’s the Bagadry Slave Market in Nigeria for a example. The Gold Coast was the place where all the slaves acquired from various kingdoms will be “assembled” and shipped to the New World.
But why are the chiefs of cape coast given them fanti names,some were sent from Asante,Northern so dat also did to be look at
The chiefs are fanti do definitely they will give them fanti names... U don't expect fanti chief to give them northern names
We came came west Africa
