Accra, Ghana mdash; air force 1 In 2019, Ghana s president invited African descendants in the diaspora to mark the Year of Return, commemorating 400 years since the first Africans arrived in the colony now known as Virginia on a slave ship. The invite prompted record tourism to Ghana, and an increase in Americans who applied for visas to stay.
