Let's Improve relations between Africans and African Americans.

Why is there mutual suspicion between Africans and African Americans? African Americans wrongfully accuse Africans that they sold them to slavery. However, this is not true. This is a myth perpetuated by white America to rid itself of the guilt of slavery. Majority of Africans removal from their motherland to the Americas and Europe was forced.

While Abraham Lincoln is celebrated by white America that he ended slavery, he in fact wanted to create a white only America. All the former slaves were to be repatriated to America. It is of note that without Africa, America would never have been a superpower. Tens of millions of able bodied Africans were forcefully removed from Africa and exported to the Americas and Europe to work in profitable agricultural plantations. This is what formed the basis for the industrial revolution and the emergence of America as a world power. In this journey, multitudes of Africans died in the slave ships and in the seas, constituting a much graver genocide that even the Jewish genocide perpetrated by Adolf Hitler.

African American thought leaders were among the first to call for pan Africanism. Leaders such as Marcus Garvey were instrumental in the fight for independence in Africa. In fact, he renounced his American citizenship and died in Ghana.

Ghana has attempted to unite Africans and African Americans
 In the year of return in 2018, multitudes of African Americans made the journey to Ghana.

In 2010, former Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade constructed a statue of African reneissance, to show the emergence of the African people in the world stage. Similarly, he offered land to citizens of Haiti who had been badly battered by the earthquake. It is such small gestures that will awaken the unity of the African people both in continental Africa and in the diaspora.
