Juneteenth is a holiday that originated in the United States and commemorates the end of slavery in the country. However, there has been a growing interest in celebrating Juneteenth by African Americans in other parts of the world, including Ghana.

Ghana has a special connection to Juneteenth because it is ‘alleged’ it was a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade, and many enslaved Africans were taken from Ghana and other parts of West Africa to the United States.

These celebrations typically include cultural performances, music, food, and discussions about the history and legacy of slavery. They also provide an opportunity for people to reflect on the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality, both in the United States and around the world.
