The Ghanaian president lays out how the transatlantic slave trade was built on the deliberate erasure of African humanity and identity. He connects that system of dehumanization to modern structures, showing how the legacy of slavery continues to influence inequality, education, and public understanding. The address makes clear that this is not distant history but an active force shaping present-day realities. Reclaiming truth and humanity is positioned as essential to confronting what still exists.
