    As a Black American, I must say this was an extremely powerful video you uploaded my brother. This means a lot to us Black people in the Diaspora, and to our brother and sisters in Ghana and on the rest of the African continent. The 1921 race massacre was one of many in this country. The horrors that my ancestors faced in this country could never be properly expressed or understood. The racial hatred was so pervasive and ingrained into the fabric of the American society, that the children of those who descend from those who were responsible for it, still use racial hatred and disparities in their every day lives with dealing with Black people. To see Queen mother, her brother and family come to Ghana at such an older age is a blessing to say the least. The bridge to our ancestral home is built, and now we must as Africans and descendants of Africans embrace each other as one family. I will be traveling myself to Ghana soon, and I look forward to many visits and eventually moving one day in the future.

      Yes, our Afro Latino peoples are very much part of the African family across the world. From my research I found that an ancient variant of the Yoruba language called Lucumi is still spoken in Cuba to this very day. Even the food in some parts of Latin America (e.g Brazil) have some similarities with our own delicacies here. For example, there is acaraje (Brazilian delicacy) which bears close resemblance to our own Akara in West Africa with slight modifications. What is interesting is that they are both made with beans & palm oil. There are also significant traces of Africa in the dances, modes of worship and music over there too.
