Stevie Wonder Makes History, Becomes Ghanaian Citizen on 74th Birthday!

Stevie Wonder Becomes Ghanaian Citizen on 74th Birthday! - In a ceremony overflowing with symbolism and joy, music icon Stevie Wonder, the mind behind classics like "Superstition" and "I Just Called to Say I Love You," became a Ghanaian citizen on his 74th birthday! This history-making move wasn't just a personal milestone, but a powerful statement of unity and a beacon of hope for Black Americans seeking connection with their African roots.
For over half a century, Stevie Wonder harbored a dream of becoming Ghanaian. This dream became a reality this week as he swore the oath of allegiance, his voice rich with emotion. The ceremony, steeped in Ghanaian tradition, saw Wonder adorned in vibrant kente cloth, a symbol of royalty and cultural pride. President Akufo-Addo himself presided over the event, highlighting the significance of Wonder's choice.
Wonder's decision reflects a growing trend. Disillusioned by social and political realities in the US, Black Americans are increasingly turning to Ghana, a nation rich in culture and history, embracing them as family. Ghana, for its part, enthusiastically welcomes these "Africans of the diaspora," recognizing the skills and experiences they bring. At least 1,500 Black Americans have moved to Ghana since the launch of the "Year of Return" program. Celebrities like Steve Harvey and Naomi Campbell have also visited, encouraging further connection.
This isn't just about immigration; it's about forging a brighter future. Stevie Wonder, a legend who shattered musical barriers, now seeks to bridge the gap between Africa and its diaspora. His dream of unity resonated through the ceremony, a powerful message that resonated far beyond the walls of the Jubilee House. The President himself referenced a quote by reggae legend Peter Tosh: "Don't care where you come from, as long as you're a black man, you're an African."
