African and black American leaders meeting this week (July 20) debated an unusual proposal to spur investment and interest in the continent - securing African citizenship for American descendants of Africans taken away as slaves. The idea came out of a summit bringing African governments and the US private sector together in search of partnerships to end Africa's poverty. Presidents from 12 African countries attended the four-day conference, along with former US President Bill Clinton and World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz.
