SLAVE DUNGEONS 2010

The Elmina and Cape Coast Slave Castles are always sad and heartwrenching, but a very necessary and crucial visit on our “Don’t Let Your History Be A Mystery” tour. We learn the about the cruel treatment and the fate of the captured Africans. The native Ghanians welcome us home. We offer a ceremony in honor of our stolen ancestors.

CAPE COAST "THE DOOR OF NO RETURN" THE DOOR OF NO RETURN. Once the Africans left the dungeons, they were sold as slaves in the west. Many Africans jumped into the Atlantic rather than facing the unknown. THE DOOR OF NO RETURN. The ships waited to carry the Africans in the belly of the ship, stacked on top of each other for the long journey to the west.
