NBA star LeBron James traveled to Luanda, Angola, in September 2026. His visit was initially linked to the E1 Luanda Grand Prix, an international electric boat racing competition where James is a co-owner of Team Alula. During his trip, James also visited the National Museum of Slavery at Morro da Cruz, accompanied by Tourism Minister Márcio Daniel. The museum, a former colonial outpost and embarkation point for the transatlantic slave trade, served as a site for historical reflection. James praised the hospitality of the Angolan people during the visit. James was accompanied to the E1 World Championship by Will Smith. During the trip, Angolan President João Lourenço met with both celebrities at the presidential palace. The meeting focused on strategies to promote Angola through basketball, cinema, and tourism. The visit further emphasized historical connections between Angola and the African diaspora.
