Guide Kwesi Blankson leads U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff as they tour the Cape Coast slave castle during her week-long trip to Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia, in Cape Coast, Ghana March 28, 2023.US vice-president Kamala Harris delivered a speech to thousands of young Ghanaians on Tuesday in Accra on women's empowerment, and toured a coastal building that was the last stop for Africans sold into the transatlantic slave trade.
Harris used the stop to promise American partnership, exhort African nations to do more for women, and to speak about the importance of learning difficult history, in an apparent reference to recent Republican push to strike some lessons from US classrooms. “We must invest in the African ingenuity and creativity, which will unlock incredible economic growth and opportunities, not only for the people of the 54 countries that make up this diverse continent, but for the American people and people about the world,” she said.
