Kamala Harris' Emotional Visit to Ghana and Efforts to Strengthen US-Africa Ties.
Vice President Kamala Harris became emotional while touring Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, a former slave post where Africans were held captive before being sent to the Americas and Caribbean. Harris spoke off the cuff about the horrors of slavery and the strength of those who survived it. She emphasized the importance of remembering and teaching this history, and praised the descendants of those who were enslaved for their fight for civil rights and justice. Harris is on a weeklong trip to Africa, her first while in office, and is focused on promoting economic empowerment, digital inclusion, and food security.
