ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Tuesday in Ghana from a monument, called Black Star Gate, that commemorates the nation’s independence from colonialism. The speech is a highlight of her second full day in Ghana, part of a weeklong trip that will include visits to Tanzania and Zambia. Harris said she envisioned a future that is “propelled by African innovation.” After her speech, Harris is scheduled to tour a seaside fort, the Cape Coast Castle, where enslaved Africans were loaded onto ships bound for the Americas.
