Ghana: Diaspora pays tribute to its ancestors at the Nkyinkyim Museum

Members of the African diaspora, including African Americans and descendants of communities scattered around the world, gathered for three days at the Nkyinkyim Museum in Nuhalenya near Ada to honour their ancestors. The ceremony offers participants a way to reconnect with their origins and a history interrupted by the transatlantic slave trade. They paid tribute through libations, offerings, songs, percussion and dancing. Museum founder Kwame Akoto-Bamfo said the initiative is organized and driven by the community itself.
