African Americans in Ghana

The history of African Americans in Ghana goes back to individuals such as American civil rights activist and writer W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963), who settled in Ghana in the last years of his life and is buried in the capital, Accra. Since then, other African Americans who are descended from enslaved people taken from areas within the present-day jurisdiction of Ghana and neighboring states have applied for permanent resident status in Ghana.
