Ghana's Citizenship Program Draws Interest from Black Americans

Credited from: VOANEWS

  • Ghana has granted citizenship to 524 members of the diaspora, primarily Black Americans, during a ceremony in November 2023.
  • The program, part of the "Year of the Return," aims to reconnect diasporans with their African heritage and attract them to Ghana.
  • Participants like Keachia Bowers and Deijha Gordon express the intangible joy of reclaiming their roots through citizenship.
  • The process requires a concession from the presidency as part of the legal framework established in the 2000 Citizenship Act.
  • Despite upcoming political changes, Ghana's commitment to granting citizenship to the diaspora is expected to continue.
