Undefeated American boxing Champion, Floyd Mayweather has revealed his intention of coming to Ghana as part of the government’s Year of Return initiative.
To show he’s really serious this time round-as he failed to come to Ghana last year when he promised to- the wealthy boxer posted a photo on his Instagram handle which sees him draped in Ghanaian & American flags.
He shared photo with a simple caption thus: “Zoom In”.
The “Year of Return, Ghana 2019” is a major landmark spiritual and birth-right journey inviting the Global African family, home and abroad, to mark 400 years of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Jamestown, Virginia.
The arrival of enslaved Africans marked a sordid and sad period, when our kith and kin were forcefully taken away from Africa into years of deprivation, humiliation and torture.
While August 2019 marks 400 years since enslaved Africans arrived in the United States, “The Year of Return, Ghana 2019” celebrates the cumulative resilience of all the victims of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade who were scattered and displaced through the world in North America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.
Some notable American stars like Danny Glover, Steve Harvey, Samuel Jackson and a host of others have visited the country to mark the Year of Return.
