Ghana commemorated Juneteenth with a durbar and wreath-laying ceremony at Christiansborg Castle in Accra. The event coincided with a conference addressing international efforts to achieve reparatory justice for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This follows a United Nations declaration, led by Ghana, recognizing the trade as the most severe crime against humanity. Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. The commemoration in Ghana specifically focused on seeking redress for the historical injustices of the slave trade. The event aimed to galvanize further international cooperation on the path towards reparations. Photos from the ceremony have been released, documenting the observance.
