In Ghana, the name of the capital "Accra" was originated from the name of black ants "Nkranii" in Akan language (Twi), so the Akans call the capital Nkrai, but our colonial masters could not pronounce it well, and they called it Accra. People of Accra came to settle on the shores of Accra, due to their huge numbers, Ghanaians related them to Nkranii (black ant). Further history of the capital of Ghana.

The Empire of Wagadu (Ouagadou), more commonly known as the Ghana Empire, was a powerful state in the Medieval Sahel of West Africa, and one of the earliest in written record. With origins in antiquity and a reputation for wealth and glory in contemporary sources, it has long been an icon of Black history, though today it tends to be overshadowed by the later Mali Empire.

This video is part of Untold Black History, a collaboration organized by Jabari from From Nothing with the intention of shedding light on the history of Africans and the African diaspora. Check out the full playlist here:
