The Year of Return
The Year of Return, Ghana 2019 is an initiative of Ghana’s government – along with the U.S.-based Adinkra Group – that intended to encourage African diasporans to come to Africa to settle and invest in the continent. It was formally launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo in September 2018 in Washington, D.C., as a program for Africans in the diaspora to unite with Africans. The year 2019 is symbolic as it commemorates 400 years since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Jamestown, Virginia, in the United States. The program also recognizes the diaspora’s achievements and sacrifices in the time since that event. The Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture have lined up a slate of activities in “celebration of the resilience of the African spirit.” Many African Americans shared their stories regarding their experiences in Ghana during the Year of Return.
