  • Today we visit many places...in this video we explore the #WEBDuBoisCentre in #Accra. And Yes I am testing out these hashtags, baby! Thanks to our tour guide, Patience and the knowledge and personal experiences of Queen Mother Juanita Britton and Kwame Alexander...I learned so many things of not just Du Bois the scholar, but Black culture as a whole.

    As a older white woman as I have zero African, I am finding I am enjoying plus learning so much of our African brothers and sisters. I am going to subscribe because you have kept me engrossed over two videos so far.... Peace and blessings 💖🇦🇺

      The greatness of God's chosen people is inborn and divinely bestowed on our people and we have to know it, feel it, live it and enjoy it. In Ghana, there is the word in the twi language; "OBREMPONG" which means a person of divinely ordained greatness; who knows it, feels it and lives it, but lives it and others acknowledge him/her to have greatness, with no excess or over the top action in personal behaviour to show his/her greatness. He/she appears, works, walks, lives, talks and with no fanfare he/she is seen with greatness.

    people who visit the centre and take photo shots should have their picture place there to serve as inspiration and pass on the message that indeed people kept coming in and out of the centre to witness the history of Du Bois during his stay in Ghana. and also re-written in history books those who make the journey for next and next generation because most people are still in the beginnings of getting to know Du Boi's existence in Ghana and his vision for his people as African Americans who are looking forward to make the journey of returning to signify that some people started the journey and it has to be continued till the agenda is wildly spread within our communities of A.A in the diaspora and the Caribbean and across the world.

      , or Abuja, the first purpose built capital city in Africa, and one of the wealthiest cities on the continent (pop 6 million). ruclips.net/video/jJ4zUuWYSyA/видео.html These cities are seriously lit, and what ever you see in Ghana is like x10 in Nigeria, which is a bigger and richer country.

If they become US cittizens, they never call themselves African Americans, they call themselves Nigerian-Americans, and are insulted to be in the same category with African Americans. Let's help us first then take a vacation. Successful African Americans come up and move to the subburbs! Now they moving to Ghana.

      FOH with that BS.
