In this video we remember The Year of Return 2019 and think about Beyond the Return 2020 as we think about Ghana, the tourism boards decisions with this campaign, and think about the impact the year of return continues to have on diasporians throughout the world.
We share video, thoughts, and pictures from the slave castles in Ghana, the wreath laying and opening ceremonies in Accra, Ghana, as well as the other Year of Return events. Ghana’s Year of Return drew in celebrities like Steve Harvey, AJ Johnson, Boris Kodjoe and politician Nancy Pelosi in addition to thousands of others looking to connect with their history and heritage.
