Why are some African-Americans moving to Africa?

Why are some African-Americans moving to Africa?

In recent years, thousands of African-Americans have made the decision to “return home” to the African continent. But why? Many say they want to escape the racial pressure pot of the United States, while some want to connect to the land of their ancestors. For others, countries like Ghana wooed them with an easy immigration process and the promise of a better life. "I want people to understand that they have options and alternatives. Most black people in America don't know that these options exist; they think they have to suffer because there's nowhere else to go. But no, there are other places," says Muhammida el-Muhajir, a digital marketer who moved to Ghana from New York City.
