So enjoyed Ericia last night! Wish she and Amy Holmes had a program because as of now, I feel they report the NEWS w/out smirk remarks and comments!
Were you able to ask Obama if he told his daughter's how black rival tribes would capture each other, chain them around the neck and drive them great distance (many dying along the way) to Cape Coast Castle!?
If everyone told the truth in the beginning, how easy it would be to "keep them straight".
Looking forward to your program on Monday!

Hi Anderson

Glad you recovered from the spider bite and the baby blues are back to normal. What a great journey to be one, the pictures bring tears to my eyes. Can't wait to see the interview with President Obama. It will be a trip his girls will never forget nor will the lovely people of Ghana. Thanks for continuing to bring the story to us, you are the best.

I'm looking for your pic of the "Rocky" aka "Broderick" eye from the spider bite. Where do I find it?

Glad you got some sleep and that your eye is doing better.

I think that spider is the least of your concerns there...are you up on your travel shots?

Watch out for those worms that I hear burrow into your feet...yuck.

Safe trip home.

While many want to see better governance in Africa, it would be good for you to put things in perspective. At just 55 years old, Ghana is the oldest independent country in Africa other than Ethiopia. Those of us who pay any attention to history know that the United States was lawless at 55 years old. These young African countries also have to struggle with historical exploitative relationships with the West that to this day contribute to ethnic divisions, not to mention that too many of the countries are no better than neo-colonial states. That being said, I agree that the future of Africa depends on its ability to develop democratic states without ethnic hostilities, and also to control its rich natural resources.

If Black in America would focus more on where they are going as a group and less on the past they might be more productive. Pres obama should explore his white roots too. Arent they the ones that raised him to be what he is today

Cooper,

This is my very first tweet ever. So, here goes.

I'd love to see some coverage of the education, culture, and community values of the people of Ghana. I know it's a big deal that the president is there. And, I think it's important that you discuss certain issues with him; but, it would be wonderful to learn something about Ghana as well.

You are a wonderful journalist, so I'm sure you could figure out a way to highlight both.

Thank you

Dear Anderson,

I'm glad to see your there in Africa safely!

When you sit with President Obama can you please address the E dumping that is going in Ghana? This is something that really needs to be addressed not only for the envirement but for homeland security.

Hi there,

I am so happy to hear that Obama is in Ghana. I was at the same castle in October 2007 and it was an eye opening experience for me. I just came back from Ghana again after being there for 6 months and witnessed the entire country go through the election process. It was very interesting. Anderson, I hope your trip was amazing as well! I wish you could say hi to my husband for me.

Lights on, fly swatter or rolled up newspaper handy and some ice for the swelling, does whiskey help for swelling spider bites? You gotta watch out for those spiders AC!

I have been listening to as much of your broadcasting as I can catch a glimpse of. I have also submitted two blogs and probably did not do it correctly, because I don't see them. One was not to late when I started typing but probably was when submitted. You are doing a wonderful job and everyone should be in quiet anticipation awaiting Monday night. Constructive criticism is always a good thing, but I for one hate to be pummeled into the ground. One you can learn from the other you can ignore.

Over 20 million Africans were forced into salvery.
Your reports are saying hundreds or thousands.

Thank you for twitting…
I was going to give you a hard time about how your thumbs automatically assume their work position even when you don’t have the blackberry in your palms… but now is not the time… Pls keep twitting… we really appreciate the updates!
I hope you get some sleep otherwise…
