Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Dr. Fatima Maada Bio has safely landed at the Freetown International Airport, following her successful and a very impactful visit at Harvard and Columbia Universities in the United States of America.

Her visit featured a lecture in Boston – Harvard University and the New York Columbia University, alongside several other key engagements towards the fight against gender inequalities and her stance on women’s and children’s rights.

Her Excellency’s recent visit to Quincy resonates with the historical significance of the La Amistad case. It not only pays homage to the bravery and resilience of those who fought for freedom but also acknowledges the global impact of the struggle against slavery.

The visit serves as a commemoration of an essential chapter in both American and Sierra Leonean history. The La Amistad incident, with its connections to Quincy and the efforts of figures like John Quincy Adams, remains an inspiration in the ongoing fight against modern-day slavery and human trafficking.
