When we RETURNED From Chains to Crowns

‘When We Returned: From Chains to Crowns’ is a poignant reflection on Ghana’s rich heritage, interwoven with the shadows of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade. Mr. Akwasi Agyeman, the coordinator of the Year of Return, masterfully combines historical facts and personal anecdotes, creating a compelling tapestry that evokes both sorrow and resilience.

His prose, infused with poetic lyricism, elevates the narrative to a profoundly emotional level. He gives credit to the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo for his bold vision that birthed the Return but finds time to appreciate the efforts of the several people and organizations that played a role to make the Year of Return a Success.

Beyond Ghana’s borders, Agyeman embraces the broader African diaspora, celebrating the triumphs and struggles of iconic figures. His book serves as a clarion call for education and empowerment, urging readers to reconnect with their roots and contribute to the ongoing journey towards unity and liberation. Agyeman’s vision extends beyond mere leisure, advocating for a tourism industry that celebrates Ghana’s heritage and fosters deeper connections among the global African community.

“When We Returned From Chains to Crowns” also delves into the collective amnesia surrounding the painful history of enslavement. Akwasi Agyeman urges a reconnection with this past to foster a deeper understanding of Ghanaian and African identity.

His narrative embodies a heartfelt journey marked by passion and a quest for knowledge, emphasizing the resilience of the African spirit. Stories of resistance and triumph, such as the Fiok Festival of the Bulsa people and the defensive architectural designs in northern Ghana, enrich the book’s exploration. The remnants of the Slave trade in Ghana are carefully woven into the discussion to provide better context to the discussion.

The poetic Prologue and Epilogue capture the emotional depth of the African diaspora’s journey back to their roots during the ‘Year of Return’. Published by Lumière Creatif, this beautifully crafted work resonates with emotion and insight, making it an essential read for anyone interested in African history, Pan-Africanism, and the enduring spirit of the global African family. Agyeman’s vulnerability and passion shine through on every page, inviting readers to appreciate the past and contribute to a better future.

NDC running mate interacts with female journalists
June 21, GNA – Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Running Mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on female journalists to highlight women’s issues in the media.

She said female journalists wield enormous power and influence that can be leveraged to shape policy and advance the cause of women and children, especially the girl child.

A statement issued by the Office of the NDC Running Mate, copied to the Ghana News Agency said Prof Opoku-Agyemang made the observation when she interacted with some female journalists in The meeting forms part of the John Mahama 2024 campaign’s stakeholder meetings with professionals and identifiable groups to listen to their concerns and enable the NDC craft policies to address them.
Addressing some female journalists, Prof Opoku-Agyemang acknowledged the invaluable contributions of women to the growth and development of the economy and urged journalists to put their expertise at the disposal of women.

She said female journalists must reflect not only the stories and voices of accomplished and distinguished women but also the voices of ordinary women, including stories of young girls who desire to accomplish big dreams and ambitions.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang, who noted that women’s issues are different and diverse, said it is important to tell the stories of women, the stories of possibilities and the stories that suggest that things can be different to inspire others.

She said we need to change the under representation of women as well as the lack of opportunities for women; adding that, “if women refuse to take the space or opportunity, women will not go anywhere”.
