British Vogue - 10.2019

(Jeff_L) #1
In Ghana, 2019 is the YEAR OF RETURN – a celebration of
African resilience marking the 400th anniversary
of the first slaves arriving in Jamestown, Virginia.
The initiative extended an invitation to the global diaspora
to retrace their lineage, and has prompted a
HISTORIC HOMECOMING for many long displaced from
the continent. So, who better than B i n x Wa l t o n, an
African-American model, to travel to ACCRA for Vog u e.
As she says, “The soles of my feet landed where it all began.”
