Stevie Wonder Says He's Moving to Ghana to Protect His Grandchildren from Injustice

Stevie Wonder is planning out his future. The music legend recently revealed to Oprah Winfrey that he is set on heading out to West Africa to spend his remaining years.

"I wanna see this nation smile again, and I want to see it before I leave to travel to move to Ghana," Wonder, 67, told Winfrey in a recent interview. "Because I'm going to do that."

According to the celebrated musician, he plans to move in an effort to protect his grandchildren from the racial injustice and prejudice that he feels is pervasive in American society.

"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,'" Wonder shared. "What kind of [life would that be]?"

include the news that Ghana is a stable democracy and also has a high incidence of malaria
besides the covid problems we all share. I think it's good for all of us to know just what we're
protecting ourselves and our children from.
