African Americans search for roots in Ghana

-
African Americans are trooping to Ghana as the country marks the Year of Return, in memory of 400 years since the first slave-ship landing In Virginia.

An African American professor of African studies Tani Sanchez, from Los Angeles, went on a heritage tour with her daughter this August to honor her ancestors and find her roots. CGTN's Wilkister Nyabwa has that story.

Walter Bond talks about how, in order to sell a product or service properly, you need to be like-able.

Art, music, colonial history, patriotic landmarks, shopping, idyllic beaches, laid-back islands, succulent seafood - Massachusetts has something for everyone. Take your pick from tourist attractions that range from classical music concerts by a world-class symphony orchestra to perfecting your tan on a pristine beach.

Yes, the shortcuts may look easier and sometime you may reach close to your goals, but is it really worth? The success achieved by shortcuts is short-lived; we often get tempted by the shortcuts and ignore the loopholes of that shortcut but later realize how big a mistake it was. Hard work will pay off sooner or later; the path of hard work is not easy but the destination it leads to will be worth all the difficulties....
