    I thank the Acheampong family for visiting and taking their children with them to learn more about Kente clothes and it importance in Ghana culture. By the way, the tour director is very intelligent, knows the culture, the importance of Kente clothes and the culture. He speaks clearly, and explains the culture, love for Kente clothes, being proud of Kente, cultural beliefs behind Kente Clothes, and respect for Kente Clothes. Additionally, I am happy and proud that Ghana doesn't name any Kente for Trump.

    you guys can visit the Ghana Armed forces meseum in Kumasi.... it used to be the Kumasi fort I think.. there is some history there too... if my memory serves me right, Nana Yaa Asantewaa was held in one of the cells there shortly before she was moved to Elmina and eventually exiled to the Seychelles Island ... there was a gun there that belonged to either Yaa Asantewaa or Kwame Nkrumah.. I am not so sure... went there when i was really young.. I have forgotten everything ...lol

Educational indeed, such rich culture. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Thank You 🙏🏿 for this. Why was Micah not with you? Greetings 🖖. There is a children’s book called Kente for a King, by Angela Christian, and the story is retold by Kathryn Knowles. Check it out with Micah. It’s also on CZcams’s Africalenisi. Nice 👍🏿 video.
