11:08Now PlayingTwelve young people of African descent will join the musically-inclined Jidenna for the first cohort of Birthright Scholars to travel to Ghana since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Past participants of the heritage-based leadership program have shared testimonials that the Birthright experience allowed them to travel outside of America, as well as “freed [their] mind” and helped them reach new heights.
Grammy Award-nominated artist Jidenna himself joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight,” along with Birthright AFRICA co-founder and CEO Walla Elsheikh. Jidenna says he wants the youth on this trip to build a pipeline to the continent, “a cultural and economic bridge.”
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
