Walter Mosley visits W.E.B. Du Bois Centre in Accra: A New York Secretary’s homecoming story on where Du Bois spent his final years.

Discussions centred on how Secretary Mosley could help connect the Foundation with New York philanthropic foundations that fund history, education and preservation; business leaders and diaspora investors with ties to Ghana; and government and civic networks across New York State with an interest in partnerships in Africa.

He chairs the New York State Commission on African American History and minored in African Studies and African American History at Penn State.

Meeting key stakeholders was one of Secretary Mosley's main goals for the trip, and Cheetham built the Du Bois Centre into a programme that also included meetings with civic and community leaders in Accra.
