In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, legendary musician Stevie Wonder said he plans to leave the U.S. for Ghana, explaining that he wanted himself and his family to live in a place where Black people didn’t have to fight for respect.
“I don’t want to see my children’s, children’s children have to say, ‘Oh, please like me. Please respect me. Please know that I am important. Please value me.’” he said.
Wonder said in the recently-aired November interview for The Oprah Conversation that he hoped he could experience the country “smile again” before he leaves, mourning the nation’s evils and urging it to atone.
