Ghana Leader Denounces US for “Erasing” Black History
He stated that many US schools are now prohibited from teaching about slavery, segregation, and racism, while public museums and art institutions face restrictions on exhibitions or programs addressing racial awareness.
Mahama warned that such policies risk becoming a global template, slowly normalizing historical erasure, similar to laws that once governed the punishment of enslaved people in Barbados. He is advocating, alongside the African Union and Caribbean nations, for a UN resolution to formally recognize the slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity” and to initiate reparatory justice.
The remarks come amid US President Donald Trump’s continued efforts since January 2025 to remove “divisive” content from historical and cultural narratives, which his administration claims portray the country negatively.
