This August, the NAACP leadership, members, and partners, will journey from Jamestown, Virginia back to Jamestown, Ghana. This once-in-a-lifetime trip will actualize the healing and collective unity so many generations have worked to achieve in ways which bring power to our communities in America, Africa, and throughout our Diaspora.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Prayer vigil at the Jamestown Settlement,
• Ancestral healing ceremony at the ocean,
• Business and development summit,
• African Ancestry reveal at the Door of No Return, and
• Visit to Assin Manso Last Bath Slave River, where enslaved Africans had their last bath before being shipped to the western world never to be returned.

It’s going to be a deeply powerful and moving week.  Registration is open and available until all seats are filled. Click here for trip details.
