Event Summary

John Mahama, President of Ghana, criticized the United States administration for allegedly normalizing the erasure of Black history through policies implemented by Donald Trump. These policies reportedly involve dismantling slavery exhibits, restoring Confederate statues, and removing Black history courses from school curricula. John Mahama is in New York to propose a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly, seeking to recognize transatlantic slavery as a grave crime and call for reparations, including formal apologies, return of artifacts, financial compensation, and guarantees of non-repetition. The resolution is backed by the African Union, the Caribbean Community, and Brazil, but the United States and the European Union have indicated they will not support it.
