Kamala Harris' Africa Tour: Strengthening Ties and Overcoming Challenges.
Vice President Kamala Harris became emotional during her visit to a colonial-era African slave fort in Ghana, calling it a "place of horror" and lamenting the fate of millions of captives who passed through a "door of no return" to be sold in the Americas. Harris, the first vice president of African ancestry, pledged a new era of partnership with Africa and announced $100 million in US aid to the region. She is touring Africa this week to strengthen US ties to Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia.
