The Minister of Tourism, Ms Akua Sena Dansua, will launch this year’s PANAFEST\/Emancipation Day scheduled for July 22 to August 1 at the Accra International Conference Centre on Monday, according to a statement issued in Accra.<\/p>\n
The statement signed by Mr Prince Boakye-Boateng, Director of Public Relations of the Ministry of Tourism, said the Pan-African Historical Theatre (PANAFEST) had since 1992 been a biennial event aimed among other things at telling the truth about the history of Africa.<\/p>\n
Since 1998, Emancipation Day has been an annual event for recollecting the horrors of the slave trade and honouring those who worked hard to overcome the challenges of that trade.<\/p>\n
The statement said the two events had over the years served as powerfu= l tolls to get Africans in the Diaspora to retrace their steps to Africa, either to visit, settle or invest.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Tourism and its collaborating partners appealed to Ghanaians, especially the corporate world and the media, to support the celebrations in both cash and kind to make this year’s event historic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
