On this tour, which will last until next Sunday, the Tuckers will visit historical sites, such as the Anthropology Museum, the Mirante da Lua, the Slavery Museum, among others.
"The historic Tucker family, a group of Americans descended from Angolan slaves and one of the pioneers to return to the African continent in the 19th century, returns to Angola as part of its annual memory tourism tour, from June 28 to July 6," reads a statement from the Ministry of Tourism, to which VerAngola had access.
During their stay in Angola, the Tuckers will meet with local authorities, visit historical sites, and experience cultural moments.
The tour will focus on the provinces of Luanda, Malanje, and Cuanza Norte.
"The Tucker family's tour will include visits to historical sites, meetings with local authorities and communities, and cultural moments that celebrate resistance, reconnection, and the reconstruction of ancestral memory, with a focus on the provinces of Luanda, Malanje, and Cuanza Norte, namely the Anthropology Museum, the Military History Museum, Massangano Fortress, Miradouro da Lua, the Slavery Museum, the Calandula Falls, the Black Stones of Pungo Andongo, and remains of the Ndongo kingdom," the statement said.
"Since memory tourism is a growing trend among descendants of the African diaspora who seek to reconnect with their roots on the continent, the Tucker family's visits, which have been taking place regularly since 2019, not only strengthen these ties, but also contribute to the development of historical and cultural tourism in Angola and increase the country's visibility internationally," the ministry also noted.
