The President:
And I've come here, to
Ghana, for a simple reason:
the 21st century will be shaped by what happens not just in Rome
or Moscow or Washington, but by what happens in Accra as well.
Africa's future
is up to Africans.
The people of Africa are
ready to claim that future.
And here is what you must know:
the world will be what you make of it.
You have the power to hold
your leaders accountable,
and to build institutions
that serve the people.
You can serve in
your communities,
and harness your energy and
education to create new wealth
and build new
connections to the world.
You can conquer disease,
and end conflicts,
and make change
from the bottom up.
You can do that.
Yes you can.
(cheering)
Because in this moment,
history is on the move.
But these things can only
be done if all of you take
responsibility for your future.
And it won't be easy.
It will take time and effort.
There will be
suffering and setbacks.
But I can promise you this:
America will be with you every
step of the way.
As a partner.
As a friend.
