Accra is set to become the first city in a new global network of memorials honouring victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, with a symbolic monument to be installed at the PWD triangle outside City Hall.
The announcement was made on Thursday when the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, visited the proposed memorial site alongside the Mayor of Accra, Mr Michael Kpakpo Allotey, as part of his five-day trade mission to Africa, aimed at strengthening economic partnerships, cultural connections, and historical reconciliation.
