- The Ghanian declaration of 2019 as the year of the return, was significant because it came at a time when African-Americans, in general, were facing increased racial discrimination in the US.
St Georges Fort at Elmina, built by the Portuguese in 1482 -- and infamous for its role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade through the door of no retutn.

Ghana 🇬🇭 is exceptional in terms tourism i was there last year for festive period, its the only country have been to and i saw foreigners all most everywhere in Ghana 🇬🇭
What Ghana president needs to do as they are getting so popular for Western/ Caribbean people flocking there, spending and providing the Ghanaian people with jobs would be to provide free Visas and immediate citizenship for those wishing to stay. Give more incentive
stop saying what u dont know,Ghana is not ur mate,how many African AMERICAN HAVE JOBS CREATED,Ghanaians would teach u what ur great parent have not taught u,shut up...when Ghana was going through slavery ,do u have any idea what they went through
No incentive for anyone. Ghana is a developing Nation. People must go and find opportunities to make money and create opportunities for themselves and for others if they can.
Shirley they did.We are not waiting for your advice before we do what right any way thank you.
Hello Evans and thank you for sharing this video and important info
Keep up the good work brother. Please remember black people in the diaspora are not only from the US, they come from all over.
And the US is not the only Country in the Americas.
True
The US may disrespect blk Americans but we built it and it's our Indigenous home. Even if immigrants come and look down on blk Americans we're the reason they have basic human and civil rights. I appreciate Ghana but America will always be home.
You can stay where you’re, we don’t need you in Africa.
Thank you I am indigenous to the Americas too. It’s Turtle Island🙏🏽
Ghana has a lot of other Africans in the country.
As for me a Ghanaian, I'll welcome any Afurakan AmaRukan who wanna start a business in (Khanat) Ghana, together we may build businesses, companionship and brotherhood with any Afurakan AmaRukan with pure intentions.
The Ghana model is a good step for you reconciliation between Africa and African Americans, Sierra Keone uses the Genetic test to make sure that atleast you must have some percentage of Sierra Leone West Africa DNA to qualify fir citizenship.
Year of return is tourism and exploration.
I know this is IMPOSSIBLE, but as a African American i be wondering the following... What if i woke up one day and Africa decided in union, to be the 1st Continent to drop ALL it's European borders and unite under one banner? Ontop of that, part of that plan became a total invite to ALL African Diasporans. That would be like World War 3 to Europeans 😂👏🏾 They will feel dam near 500 years of what they established and did would be flushed down the toilet! Speaking of WW3 and past rumors we've heard about it happening, i think it would be no longer "rumors of wars,'" it WOULD BE a WW3 then! Facts! 😂 Anyways, appreciate the content Good Bro Ev! I notice you are cranking out vids more often now👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Everything in your comment is fear- time to stop living in fear! Freedom takes courage and planing and fighting for rights as human beings. As James brown sang in "Say it loud I'm Black and I'm proud"- it's better to die on our feet then keep living on our knees!!!'
@@ThabitiNews How am i living in fear? 😂 First off i'm African American and live in America not Africa. 2. I'm NOT a Leader in any country in Africa, nor am i the Continent 😂 3. My "wonder" was a hypothetical, as you and i know, forget the white man the Black Leaders wouldn't want that for obvious and various reasons anyway 😂 4. Maybe you are dealing with something within yourself, and your trying to use me as a scape goat. Jedi mind tricks don't work over here. 😂 I don't have to SAY i'm proud, (RIP James Brown) i live it ✊🏾 Peace.
That would be a nightmare. I mean the part where all African Diaspora is invited back. We DO NOT NEED them. They bring in their baggage.
This is off topic Evans, but are you aware of the Geechee Gullah People and Islands in the USA. I think you will find their history very interesting.
We Africans wasn't slave but we was enslaved by demoralized people who fill with envy fear an panic ,,did we African did go through paper work before entering slavery no we African American an others were kidnapped brutally but now our own brothers and sisters making it hard for us to return
Well done brother
Big up
Personally, I'm looking towards Kenya, Uganda region. I'm not looking for any gimmicks, and Ghana's
position with the West is questionable.
Also, Ghanaian government should set up a department for networking returnees to prevent them getting scammed regarding land and business. Get more involved.
btw Evans... I do enjoy your interest in the Repats... very much! Let me share this...
In my opinion, just mine... AfroThinkTank is right, for most in the USA, we came from the coastal West African countries and I don't need to see DNA receipts to know it (although the DNA receipts do show it).
I think that is why we are drawn to Ghana. And "as quiet as it's kept" Nigeria too. We are so much alike showy, loud, aggressive, entitled, hard to get along with sometimes... You'll be surprised to know... I never really noticed this until social media. It's All Love!
I'm really just now learning how different (and the same) Africa's indigenous are... In the US... we are definitely Naija... and varying amounts of Other, maybe. The actor/comedian, Chris Tucker was almost 100% Angolan, you'd find that back story interesting.
This is beautiful... continue learning much more from this channel.
@gretawoodson
Must disagree somewhat...about your description of personalities of the Ghanaians, and Nigerians!
Most of the people in my life, Long........Life, Aren't showy, loud, aggressive, entitled, hard to get along with sometimes...I can't relate to that at all, and I'm from Louisiana...it just doesn't describe US...
NOW...I do know some...''OBNOXIOUS''...people, a few relatives...but I can only be around them
for a short period of time, they get on my nerves!!!!!
Bless you Greta...
It's not being presented as something to benefit only Ghana. It's a being presented as an opportunity for both Ghana and AA/BA. But we should know... no pan handlers wanted.
Correct. Most people returning are not business minded people. Most do not have the finances to set up businesses. Note, there are Ghanaians also returning and setting up businesses.
@@niiamu3300 There should be some screening process, always with any immigration process and a path to citizenship. People who feel they've been mistreated in the West... Are not necessarily going to be good for any African country.
@@gretawoodson1451 That is true.
Thanks!
Thank you soo much sister
@efk241 You're most welcome! Keep up the great reporting 😉
I will.🤧
There is generally agreed scientific and genetic data and consesus that shiws African Americans hail predominantly frim West and Central Africa. There are akso similar cultural traits between Afro Latinos and West Africans principaly Nigerian and Ghanaians
15:00 I completely agree... It's a form of reparations and is an event for all Africans. It's always a homecoming for BA/AA. We don't go to any African country to go on Safaris. More like a pilgrimage to the home of our Ancestors. During the Atlantic slave trade, many were taken to South Africa. I know that I had ancestors on the "White Lion"... The first slave ship to crash land on the shores of north America in the early 1600's (... still a British colony at that time).
@@rorirory121 I didn't say from... just to SA by the Dutch. Is the following not true? If not, I stand corrected...
"People also ask
Who brought slavery to South Africa?
Dutch rule
In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck set up a refreshment station for ships bound to the Dutch East Indies in what is now Cape Town. After failing to obtain cattle and local people willing to work by negotiating with them, Van Riebeeck introduced slavery in the Cape Colony."
@@rorirory121 Thanks for the info! That has actually been published in books here in the U.S. It won't be the first time misinformation has been circulated.
@@rorirory121 In fact, I have a relative that is the Associate Dean of African studies at an HBCU. I'll be sure to inform also. To at least make mention, if it becomes a topic. We should never perpetuate the colonial misinformation we've been taught.
@@rorirory121 So true! "The truth about slavery depends on who wrote the published article and what the interests of the outlet. Muslims seem to have more information online proving your relative RIGHT, we dont see this information on tv and in newspapers."
If you keep posting how great Ghana is it gives viewers the impression that is where you want your viewers to move to rather than Kenya. Viewers that want to move to Kenya could always visit Ghana.
What is the pathway for all the white Americans and Europeans that are there now and continue to move there without a Year of return for them?
You have a point sir. See, individuals also needs to be presented with options. Trying to bring the balance
@@evans_KE They should cover the process for people other than black. the process since they are buying land and striving with their businesses so that the black diapora can use as a model for their success. We never see/hear about that.
It is a different project. This specifically is for diasporans.
We could in East Africa do a years of return for African diaspora who were victims of East African human trade and indentured servitude for those taken to the middle East and Asia.
True. Those black people in the Arab lands think they are Arabs. So, returning will be very interesting.
Evans when are you visiting Ghana 🇬🇭 ?
Soon brother
I think people should look into the latest policy of the Ghanaian Government where by 15% of savings in the Bank account must remain in there, 😮this has been put in place to inssure their Debt Deficit, because GHANA only owns 3%of its own GOLD RESERVES,and GOLD for most Countries is what inssures their Debt.Now imagine if you have 1 million in the Bank and you can never access that 15% of your own Money😢, i am not saying people should not move ,just do your due dilligence especially on the ECONOMY, DO NOT LOOK THROUGH ROSE COLOURED GLASSES.
Also remember LIBERIA HAS THE SAME POLICY AS GHANA GOING BACK TO WHEN THE FIRST FREED SLAVES WENT BACK THERE, and NIGERIA HAS ANNOUNCED THE SAME REQUEST AS GHANA for the DIASPORA TO COME HOME
Kenyas should talk about the Arab slave trade first.. Dont forget
Year of return was 2019
