In 1957, Ghana became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence from colonial rulers. Since then, the country has been leading the charge to make sure Africa is led by Africans and promoting the message of Pan-Africanism.

Reconnect with history

More than 33 million people live in Ghana and, recently, an influx of Black Americans have moved to the country. The group often refers to themselves as “repatriates” instead of expatriates, because some believe they are returning to their ancestral home, according to research done by the Pulitzer Center, which conducted a project that looked at the reasons why Black Americans left the United States to live in Ghana.

The project found that the upsides include a lower cost of living, but lack of job opportunities, less modern health care systems and language barriers prove a challenge.

“But overall, the Black Americans who move to Ghana say they feel a sense of freedom not having to think about race,” said Lottie Joiner, the researcher and grantee of the project.

A famous example of a “repatriate” is NAACP founder W.E.B Du Bois who, after spending a lifetime fighting for equality on behalf of Black Americans, moved to Ghana at the age of 93; he died there in 1963.

See the capital

Accra is the capital and the largest city of Ghana and stands as the administrative, economic and educational center of the country, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

While visiting, sightseers can visit Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, which is a memorial for Ghana’s first president. Nearby, visitors can find the Black Star Square, also known as Independence Square, which hosts annual independence celebrations. Robin Roberts, Danai Gurira and second lady Samira Bawumia visited the monument.
