Ghana’s invitation to anyone of African ancestry in the diaspora to “a birth right journey back home” was this year’s defining highlight on identity matters in Africa.
The 2019 Year of Return marked 400 years since the first enslaved African arrived on the shores of the then English colonies in North America at Jameston, Virginia.
