American rapper TI and his wife recently made an emotional visit to Ghana’s Cape Coast Castle in the Central Region of Ghana.
The ‘Live Your Life’ rapper, who is in Ghana for the Year of Return, visited the slavery monument to learn more about the history of slavery. In a video circulating online, T.I and his wife, Tiny, were paying rapt attention to their tour guide who was highlighting to the couple how the Africans lost their power to rule their territories and what initiated slavery.
In one photo taken of the couple, they seemed shocked by the things they had seen and heard during the tour of the castle.
About Year of Return
It has been exactly 400 years since the first black slaves landed in Jamestown Virginia in the US. Ghana initiated the Year of Return to invite all diasporans back home to not only learn more but explore and even invest in the country.
Since this initiative began many African Americans have made their way into the country to learn more about their history. Some include Steve Harvey, Samuel L Jackson, Anthony Anderson, Micheal Jai White, Boris Kodjoe, Nicole Ari Parker, Diggy Simmons and many others.
The Tourism Ministry outlined numerous activities including the ‘December in Ghana’ events to bring the Year of Return to a fruitful end.
The programme includes the premiere of Perfect Picture 2, Sankofa Music Festival, Afro Nation, Afrochella, Gold Coast Experience, The Creative Arts show, Ghana Festival of Light and many others.

@Onana change of place is a choice but understand that in life you can never change your identity and if you know what we go through in America or Europe you will understand why they're sad. when you're not accepted or you become stateless in this world with zero belonging then you will know that family and tribe can never be taken for granted. Yes there are plenty of opportunity in America or Europe but at the end of the there must be a place call home unless you make a choice to turn your back on all your mum, dad and your entire family including your language and nothing hurts more than a language that's is so sacred and one day you wake up it disappear from you. I pray they all return to make our continent a better place to be than running to white man country that has zero sunshine.
If their indeed sad and angry we exchange places...lol anka mob3ti bobolibobo
