African-American Assoc of Ghana Launches Black History Month Celebrations in Accra 

There's no best place like Africa, if believe give a like 👍

Welcome back to your land!! We love you 😘.

I was so happy to be in Ghana this year. However I didn't know it was there year of return until I was there and the locals were welcoming me back home. It is amazing how it worked out for me.

Where is the Ghanaian media and the bloggers?? This is a special event they should be showing on their platform not the unnecessary buffoonry

Welcome home we love you all, I can't hold my tears. This is God's appointed time, Lord thank you for bringing brothers and sisters back home

Great news Africa is your home land and we welcome you all Back with happiness and joy Love you all and may our ancesters richly bless you.

Welcome my people stay safe Africa and Ghana is the answer

It's important that we never forget the plight of our ancestors sold and forced into slavery. We should never forget our migration and struggle.💕🇺🇸

As a Ghanaian living in Atlanta Ga, U.S.A . When i see a video like this, I become excited to continue in search of an African American woman as my future wife.😊

Welcome home. African Americans should be offered citizenship.

Instant new Subby here! Ghana reminds me of 🇯🇲🏝🇯🇲🏝🇯🇲🏝

What a beautiful people their find they are Root back home,i hope year of return they would like to came more than this,welcome came

I Do love every black and really make me sad when I see African american history but I am glad that they are trying find their peaceful living witch could be only in Africa welcome to the Mather land I wish you the most I love you from Sudan

Home sweet home🇬🇭❤️👍

greeting fr0m Ghana! I recently moved here from the US I refused to become a member of this organization because they have integrated white people into their organization for "money" reason. I did not come home to interact with white people.. not after living in America and learning about who white people are....dr ben, dr.clark, garvey,, diop, dr. amos Wilson dr khallid etc...

NEXT YEAR SENEGAL IS 2020. THEN. 2021 CAMEROUN AND ALL AFRICA. NOT ONLY GHANA

Some of African American history is Ghanaian history around the time when the transatlantic slave trade happened that's part of Ghana's history and African American history

Did you hear that White lady? She said "we are here to celebrate the painful and joyful experiences of your journey". What was so joyful about this journey? Over to you, African-Americans.

ALL OF YOU ARE AFRICANS NOW. GLORY BE TO THE MOST HIGH. I AM HAPPY FOR ALL OF YOU TO BE IN ÁFRICAN LAND, MOTHER LAND. I'M A GHANAIAN AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH AM HAPPY FOR AFRICAN DIÁSPORA TO BE THERE. THANK YOU, AND I SAY THANK ALL OF YOU. YES, ISRAEL WILL GO HOME.

Pity, I was there in Accra the last weekend and week of February and had no idea about these events. I went to the center because it was on my agenda and just happened upon the weekend market. I had an awesome time in Ghana (visiting some 5 cities in less than two weeks) and look forward to visiting again soon (or even living for a while?).

Thank you for this video. We are pushing Ghana to the world. Ghana is home

My sister you doing a great work. Keep on and give us many amazing videos.

You guys are making history, you’re amazing and unstoppable, I appreciate y’all and pray you continue this journey so can actually capture and enjoy what most of us that was born in Africa but now live in USA and other part of the world, so here is the movement. Our hearts are in Africa, wherever we relocated , we always go back and forth , you also you can do the same because now , you’re privileged to do so , my brothers and sisters, live freely with respect and love , this is ‘African way’, with love. Watching from NYC, USA.

So beautiful Madam I.am in Germany but just love your spiritMay God continue to bring His beautiful children home.

This is very important, because Most African don't know what African Americans been Through...It's amazing...Most have no idea of the slave trade.. Movies like ROOTS,,, UNCLE TOM... Should be shown around that time...On my first trip to Ghana we took a Pastor who was born in Ghana to Cape Coast...He had no idea of the slave dungeon...He didn't believe...That was kept from them...So yes This forum is VERY IMPORTANT..

As an Africa American that was a great show ,you did a fantastic job .

We are not African Americans. We are Afrikans IN America!!! The AAAG organization is very difficult to contact. They do not respond to emails. I went to their website several times and left messages. I tried to join and pay the membership fee, but the site was inoperable for this transaction. I had planned a visit to Ghana during the Christmas/New Year holiday for the first time and have reached out to AAAG on many occasions, but to no avail. None the less, I had a great time in Ghana and am planning to repatriate and open a business the end of this year or early 2020 in Ghana. I understand most of the Afrikans in America have migrated to an area called Prampram and West Hills. I am excited about the upcoming community, Garvey Town, in Gasoa. They will be building a housing community, bank, schools, hospital, grocery store, mall, hotels, and a variety of businesses! Thank you Africa for the Africans!!!

Wonderful hey sis hope you don’t mind me sharing this video many of our people need to see this. Thank you 🙏🏿

beautiful, everyone should get a chance to explore their ancestral lands

Thank you for this!! We are on the right path finally ✊🏿

Ghana is not your home north Africa is your home but God has not released it yet from your enemies.

Yes best place to live , you look beautiful too

Welcome to all black people in Africa back you guys our family you guys is from Africa we love all black peoples in the world

i wish to move my family to the motherland Asap!

Black history is a wonderful thing to be celebrated

Can i just say this in the most respectful way that I possibly can..... Can we please just have the year of return and programs like this be a sacred space for black people? Some things we should be able to experience for ourselves without an audience and without bringing everyone else along, especially when it comes to remembering painful moments in our history.

Well said. And you know the US media LOVES stories of tragedy; not so much peace. This is such a wonderful thing that is happening! As a South American, I’d have to hit up a good eight countries (including Mali, Africa, I might add) to touch “home”. Especially since I’m not even home, currently living in the US! Mr. Ababio is so polite and charming; classic African😊

It was so awesome that the black history month has been done in Ghana weldone

We love them we know that they are family members returning home

When you come to your own kingdom of Africa not only it will uplift you but reconnect you with your roots once again. Like Brother Malcolm said” in hating Africa, in hating Africans, then we end up hating ourselves”.

How do I get intourch with.An Afican..American? I just love them.you are us and we are you..love.ypu.all do much..WELLCOME BACK HOME.NO PLACE LIKE HOME..WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

What will be will be. God bless motherland

i wish i could go :( ....I need to get my paper passport for real ....

Keep up with the great work! Thanks for sharing

Great video I love Ghana 🇬🇭

Good job. Nice and positive video. Great job done.

Thank you for bringing me this interview I love it when you do meaningful interviews Thanks

I just want to say thank you for being so professional. Your video are not only informative but Educational.The lady that was sitting while you interviewed her she said “ They Don’t film a peaceful election.They didn’t filmed when the past president lost the election and he went to court , and the court decision went against him and he stepped a side and allowed a peaceful transfer of power.They don’t film positive things on the Continent.This action Ghana /Ghanaian took is a monumental Kwame Nkrumah spirits is a lives and well.. I am so proud it is said that some Jamaicans were taken from Ghana 🇬🇭 , Ethiopia 🇪🇹 , The Congo 🇨🇬 🇨🇩 Making me extremely Proud to have a connection. Loads of love and respect to all Ghanaian, Congolese and Ethiopian

Tell that "WHITE " woman, that there was nothing "JOYFUL", in what her FOREPARENTS, did to ours; MOST HIGH'S JUDGEMENT ON THE HEATHENS, man !!!!!!

Thank you so much for this sharing!

If this is about Africans and African-Americans coming together why allow these colonizers to come to these events and when I say colonizers I mean Europeans AKA Whites?

More exposure of such events need to be done with the support of local media stations and not just in Ghana but all over Africa.

Hello Ivy, I am so proud of you all what you are doing. This is what Africa needs. Keep up the good job

Hi ivy I really enjoyed your video. Its helping with my confidence to do business there. Much thanks

Year of return, are you kidding me? Black Américains have been coming to Africa for a long time, not just Ghana but other part of the continent. But because so much negative images is shown through out the world, lots of people in the diaspora are still sceptic

I have never met a black American in my life I'm From Kenya

Ghana is best for us🇬🇭🇺🇸

Great video Ivy keep inspiring the world Invest educate build Africa the Beautiful!

Home is home. Home is sweet. Wellcome.

Wait a minute did the association do promotion so the locals would be present and equally imvolved after all it is there land. I did not see akua,ama,asantwah,kofi, Kwesi etc present .... BOGUS

Thanks for the video 😍

African -american has different mentality than Ghana people. Ghana people are more peaceful , mentally stable, cheerful . That is why african-americans MUST come back to african roots if they want peace in their souls . But they must not preach Ghanaian to admit more aggressive american behaviour . PEOPLE OF GHANA ! SAVE MENTAL HERITAGE, your sincerity, open mind . , Don't admit hidden aggression. greediness of the obronies .

I notice you tube has a lot of commercials on these types of videos......but imma make my way to Africa somehow, someway.

Returning back to Africa is not a time for us to be hosting these Pale faces and serving them free meals. Its a time for to connect as black people. One Love

Africa is a home for black people no one will be discriminate here. No matter what the condition we have it's our home. Let's proud ourselves

I think it's great for my people African Americans getting involved in our real mother land

Thanks my people

The whole block Americans have taken ghana as the only home they got in Africa.. Well that's very good..keep it up...

The first time I went to Ghana was forty years ago. When I landed in Accra, I was meant to see Tarzan and our brothers and sisters starved and sleeping in the streets. Not only I didn’t see anything of that, but I knew it was the mythology of the West. In Accra, there were houses, hotels, schools, clinics, sports stadiums etc. I saw enough in Accra when I landed forty years ago. Apart from Accra, I have been Koforduia, Oda, Tafo and Kwahu.

I need to go there

Nice video, hope i can share it on my facebook page, i will give you credits

Awawaaatuu and special Akwaaba to our dear family and friends 👫

Hello Ivy. Looks like the program turned out great! Hope to come in May 2020

Why doesn’t Africa teach about the Slave Trade in their schools and colleges? The young people and some older ones as well think that Black Americans are fortunate and that we live good. They base this on what they see on television. They know nothing about how we got to America or the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. That’s sad and they’re asking us to come back?

The condition of blacks/hebrews in South America is dire .especially in Brazil,Argentina,Colombia .brazil alone have over 100 million blacks .we need to reach out to them and look out for them

Great video

MY SANKOFA; 1965 - 1976: In 1965 I left for Ghana with less than $300 in my pocket; to answer the call from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to African-Americans, to come and help in the rebuilding of Africa. (Aka; FREEDOM FIGHTERS.) “Five (5) months after my arrival Nkrumah’s government was overthrown which was a heartbreakers to many and caused many changes of plans… And a moment of panic for some. As for me, I was adopted by an Ashanti-Paramount Chief, Nana kwaku Duah; Agogo-hene, (1966) and given the name “Kojo Acheampong.” and adoptive into one of his sub-chiefs clan, Nana Otteng, and spent the next eleven (11) years living in Ghana, often traveling to Togo and the Ivory Coast to market my jewelry. I earned a living by learning and making jewelry of traditional designs which I carved from cow-horns and ivory (a skill I was taught by traditional craftsmanship) after immersing myself in the customs culture. On my return to the United States in 1976, I was able to contribute to the growing interest in African art and culture. Now in my senior years (86+) and on the suggestion (& insistence) of my adopted family, I’ve decide to take them up on their; “Uncle; you should come back to Ghana and enjoy with us, that which you’ve enable us make possible. “ IT WAS A BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE.” Details here: www.amazon.com/Curtis-James-Morrow/e/B074TWSKKW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1566355782&sr=1-3 See Online-Gallery here: mysankofa2012.artspan.com

I am .perplexed that the African American's living in Ghana have said nothing abt the #fixthecountry movement taken place in GHANA NOW

I do not believe black history month is necessary in Ghana. In fact Ghanaian school students know more about black history than most black Americans do, so instead why not have it taught in Ghana schools. from kindergarten on up. I also did not know that you are still a black American in Africa, I thought you are now African.

Your videos are amazing 😍👍

I'm in America, how do I join the association, do you have a representative in America?

Rabbi Kohain is the voice of the Diaspora ...

Beautiful

Very good initiative

2020 we just need our mothers the women in power politically to be free and unite and end money poverty in Ghana... Power to our mothers party 2020 that campaign is on

Very true they always film the bad stuff but ghana have great stuff they don’t say peaceful, happiness, great socialization, great food, great sense of humor. Etc,etc etc. every country have positive and negative side but in all Ghana is a blessed country. There’s no place like Africa especially Ghana. We’re all making plans to come home for good. Tired of living in this stressful and unhappy country.. 🇺🇸

Do We really need the colonizer at our celebration as main speakers? We can’t live without them? Why do we feel they have to be involve with our events?

Good people

❤❤❤

Gotta go to Ghana and invest

I would love to be there with my people I don't feel welcome in America the American system will never change for good for the black man here in America

THANK YOUUU FOR THIS VIDEO ITS 2020 AND IM PLANNING FROM AMERICA #SHATIMAR FROM #FOODNETWORK. I SUBSCRIBED

@ivey prosper how can i get in touch with this Organization on this video. i am a Diasporan coming to Ghana 🇬🇭

Although my culture is about Benin and Togo, our music is all about Benin and Togo because I am From Ayiti, but not in a million years I'll ever move to Nigeria. They are losing themselves. Too Americans and they admired the Europeans to me. By the way, we don't need to go there to teach Ghanaians about African Americans culture, but we need to go there to learn about our culture. We got nothing to teach them, we the one that lost our roots, we need them to teach us.

How can i attend any of the activities

Why couldn't y'all leave white people out even in Africa

Fantastic work Ivy

Good association to exist

Africans should donate money for one way tickets back to africa for poor , who can't afford to leave.

Nice
