She’s addressed parliament in that West African state on the 400th anniversary of the start of the slave trade from Africa to America.

Moved to tears by visiting the fortress from where  hundreds of thousands of slaves had their last glimpse of Africa before being shipped off to the United States and the Caribbean, Nancy Pelosi says there’s a lesson.

“These profound places are a reminder of mankind’s capacity for great evil, but also for great strengthened resiliences>” she said.

She says the US and Ghana must pursue smart, economic sustainable cooperation that will lift the lives of their people.

She describes the more than 200 000 Ghanaians living in the US as a vitality.

Together the US and Ghana must fight climate change, which she calls an existential threat.
