Rosa Whitaker: 'America can't be first if we keep putting Africa last'
Given the press of events closer to home, Africa is hardly top of mind in Washington right now. That President Joe Biden's foreign policy, economic and trade A-team is meeting with its African counterparts here this week is unlikely to change that. In a more rational world, it would.
