The Great Home Coming – Raw Footage – Ghana, West Africa
Excerpts from the first day of events including the arrival in Ghana of the remains of Samuel Carson (from the US) and Crystal (from the Seville Plantation). Footage includes scenes from Kotoka International Airport and events at the E.W. Dubois Center in Accra, Ghana. Also highlights of the Hayor Dance Company which was the resident dance company of the E. W. Dubois Center in Accra, Ghana from 1999 -2001. Hayor was formed in 1994 under the directorship of Mr. Francis Kofi and well as a keynote speech from Dr. Leonard Jeffries.
Each year some Caribbean countries commemorate Emancipation Day - the day chattel slavery was formally abolished in Britain and it's colonies. The first Emancipation Day commemoration on the African continent took place in July - August 1998 in Ghana, West Africa. The footage here is an excerpt of some of the documentation regarding that historic event in 1998.
Kramanti and Abandze are twin fishing villages in Ghana that were important and historic trading centers of the Dutch and English.
On this day, the remains of two ancestors who were enslaved Africans, Crystal from Jamaica, West Indies and Samuel Carson from the United States of America, return through the infamous 'Door of No Return' at Cape Coast Castle in Cape Coast (Oguaa), Ghana. The Castle at Cape Coast was where many enslaved Africans were forcefully held before their journey on the Middle Passage. Crystal and Samuel Carson were also transported for the reinterment in the motherland.
Minnie' Phillips lead the delegation from Jamaica, West Indies to Ghana and the late Sonny Abubadika Carson lead the U.S. delegation accompanied by Professor James Smalls, Dhoruba al-Mujahid bin Wahad, Dr Leonard Jeffries, Dr. Roseland Jefferies and Nana Kimati Dinizulu to name a few. (less info)

I think Ghana is the most common destination because it's considered tourist friendly (unlike Nigeria) and English is widely spoken which is not the case in most of West Africa.
Ghana is not the main slave ports.I just think it might be because Ghana is mostly on the media compared Senegal or Cameroon or any other country. But any way that doesn't matter.
Ghana is where one of the main slave ports are that gathered all the Afrikans that were captured across the continent and got them ready to be packed on the ships. There are others but Ghana's for whatever reason is the most popular one to visit for Afrikans in the diaspora (not just those of us in America but in Caribbean and all over). Also there's the Pan-Afrikan history of Ghana as well too.
Black Americans return to Africa,I wonder why they always choose Ghana is it because Dr. Kwame Nkrumah invitation for African Unity? Well Shashamane Settler Community in Ethiopia was also part of Haile Selassie worshipers who had return mostly from Caribbean Island of Jamaica. Some went to Cameroon Rastafari while in Harlem Sam Nujoma also invited Carlos Cooks of the African Nationalist Pioneer Movement and his delegation to Windhoek.Julius Nyerere also invited Blacks to come & work together.
