"We are following our roots back to where they lead us. For anyone who hasn't heard of the Ghanaian principle of 'sankofa,' this is it! It means 'go back and get it,' or that by going and exploring our heritage, we receive knowledge that will guide us forward," Jordan told Chalkbeat.
"The Ghana trip has deep significance to the students going, who are all of African descent and who plan to explore both the joy of their heritage and the painful legacy of the trans-Atlantic slave trade."
"The students will spend ten days in and around Ghana's capital of Accra visiting Ghanaian museums, historical sites and schools, as well as participating in cultural activities like receiving traditional names and mural-painting at an arts festival."
