Washington Post Essay Suggests Black Americans Who Have Grown 'Tired' of America's Hostility against Them Should Consider Relocating to Ghana

A recent essay published by The Washington Post suggests that black Americans who have grown “tired” of America’s supposed hostility against them should consider relocating to Ghana — stating, “Sometimes, leaving is the most powerful form of resistance.”

In her piece, titled “For African Americans tired of U.S. hostility, Ghana is still calling,” columnist Karen Attiah points to the famous black activist W.E.B. DuBois, who moved to Ghana in 1961.

“In 1961, 93-year-old Black scholar and historian W.E.B. Du Bois moved to Ghana, and soon after he was granted Ghanaian citizenship. He had endured Jim Crow racism, FBI surveillance and the confiscation of his passport by the United States, and decided it was enough,” Attiah relates.
