Chicago, IL November 24, 2023: Thanksgiving is indeed the time to reflect on one’s life and that of his family and friends, and also thank the Lord for all the blessings over the years. The day also presents a perfect opportunity for family and friends to mingle and celebrate. Immigrant Ghanaians in Chicago have celebrated the day with nostalgia. Back home in Ghana, many festivals and celebrations mimic Thanksgiving celebrations, but they are usually not celebrated with Turkey as the main dish on the menu. Celebrations such as the Yam festival and Homowor come to mind. The lenses of sankofaonline.com bring to our worldwide viewers these images from some of the hotspots in Chicago.
