President Barack Obama arrives in Ghana tomorrow. The World’s Laura Lynch is already in the capital, Accra, getting a sense of how Obama-mania has gripped the West African nation. You can see more of her pictures here.

You can hear Laura’s first report from Ghana here.

Her second report is here.

From the BBC: African View: Shipshape for Obama?

Some local coverage from Ghana’s The Daily Graphic.

And here’s an audio slideshow that Laura Lynch put together for us:

    For you to have the hate speech radio host/raggae singer “Black Rasta” on your show and not mention it was very disappointing. Please see the open letter (see below for URL)that gayghana.org is sending to the radio station he works at.

    Thank you for your attention to this.

    Can someone please fix this typo on this page: “You can here Laura’s first report from Ghana.” Please change “here” to “hear.” Thanks.
