My Time Alone Inside Of Cape Coast Slave Dungeon in Ghana 🇬🇭 Opened My Eyes Even More  

It is a great thing that the descendants of the formally enslaved have managed to changed the narrative and call those pits dungeons instead of castles.

I visited this dungeon in October 2005. It was an experience I will never forget.

Am a Christian but am trying to figure out how pple calling themselves christians were worshiping God up in the rooms and beneath there were people crying in pain knowing very well they were the cause of their pain. Heartless indeed

thank you for making a return through that door. in fact that was the most touching and powerful moment. we shall all return praise YAH Amen!

Having schooled in Cape Coast, I frequented this place quite a bit and had my family (American born) visit too. What you just shared is Profound Jay. Keep up "The Work"

I watched all your videos and was never so emotional when you were all alone (I was there with you)this brings tears to my eyes. Knowing what our own people went through. I can just imagine their cries, their pain and suffering. I’m just out of words Jay, I don’t know if I can embrace those moments you are strong🙏🙏😭😭

This is very emotional for me just watching you walk these hallways. I can visualize some of those captured Africans lining the hallways, women, men, and children waiting to be put on ships to the "new world", so sad. Their heart was broken and they were petrified. Many thought it was the end of their lives. I have never been to Africa but home to visit one day in the near future.

Jay you are really doing an amazing job changing the narratives with many experiences You’re really inspiring me for much when I come back to the homeland Ghana 🇬🇭

A legendarily RU-vidr!! God bless u and God continue to elevate u

Jay… I’m so happy for you- your growth and the way you’ve been chosen for this work in the Kingdom is awe inspiring. I wanted to stay longer so badly😰 so I could try to wrap my mind around it all. ➡️Have you ever wondered why those dungeons still remain- It’s far more than tourism or remembrance. Before leaving Ghana I heard that powerful silent voice reminding me- Revelations 13:10. The Most High God’s promises will never return void. APTTMH

I feel your pains brother Jay even though I am a descent of the enslaved what really happened back then has decimated the continent of Africa coupled with the colonialism which is still affecting many aspects of lives and systems that were put in place but gradually the new generations are beginning to dismantle some of the systems that were put in place by the colonialists.

The kind of peace you feel in Ghana is not by accident; is God's hand on this nation for years. Even we Ghanains are always amazed by how God has keept us from wars ..

Jay what you did was very symbolic, I mean you spending time alone and reflecting on many things we don't know exactly what happened. We know what happened but do we know the entirety of it? Thanks for the highlights. this video is the most powerful video I have watched from you.

Thanks for sharing Jay. I love what you do. 😘😘😘

I am not sure if l can do this Jay, u're strong 😭😭😭😭.....we have suffered, our Great ancestors saw hell....no More no more.... spirit never dies thus why we're here today, they are in us...moving on positively 👍

My pains goes high as-an African whenever I see these dungeons. I tried to forget but, never. The evil 👿 treatment was so harsh to forget. Hmmm

Hey Jay glad to see them subscriber numbers growing! Keep doing it! This is going to be a little long, but bare with me. What I find interesting about this whole, old worn out slave narrative...is that the churches in a number of these dungeons (if not in all of them) were built first (before the dungeons). Or, either, the building had initially served as a religious house before it actually became the slave dungeon. For instances, at Elmina - I don't remember if our guide had told us this are not, because everyone was so emotional. but I think he did. However, I read where, the church was built before the dang dungeon, and then, the dungeon was built up around the church. Now, I don't know about everybody else, but to me, that raises a red flag. Even on Goree Island, I have a picture of the inside of the church that's on the island. Now this church is separate from the dungeons. But you have to go down this long winding path to get to the church, before you get to the dungeon. And, inside the church, the stain glass windows have images of the disciples. The disciples are black, but guess what color Jesus is? It's just bull. And, that bull narrative about the enslaved Africans coming only from West Africa....not buying it and never did! And now with the new report on Harvard's University's involvement in the slave trade that just came out - you have Harvard Slave Raiders selling and buying enslaved people in the West Indies..and there's 80 more colleges and universities that were doing the same thing, or at least something similar. The lies are unraveling more and more each day. I mean, I don't know exactly how it went down, but I will never be convinced that African chiefs across the whole doggone continent decided to sell millions of their people into slavery...I mean each one did the exact same thing as the next one, for over 300 years. And, then all of sudden, within 25-30 years, after the continent had loss almost half of its population due to the Arab and Trans-Atlantic slave trades, the people (Europeans) who wanted so badly to benevolently bow out of slavery, doubles back and implements the most insidious and heinous form of colonization known to man for another 60-100 years. They can say what they want, but I call straight b.s. ☹️🤔🥱

The ancestors welcome you🙏🏾

Yes! My Son,, I see you come through those doors tall and strong, with your head high with pride..The Ancestors are smiling and so I. Love ❤️ Nana Gwen/ Ghana. I'm on RU-vid ( Nana Gwen)

Soo moving, emotional and touching 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

People on the continent probably call this place a castle because to me it appeared that it was a big compound with accommodation for the slaves and those who captured them. From high ranking to low rank. The church was such a central part of their lives that they build one on the premises

Jay am besides myself watching you in this dungeon. You're truly a special soul in the vein of Stockely Carmichael and Malcolm X. However yours is a quite wisdom worthy of emulating.

I just hope one day that that so called “church” will be dismantled! That’s my prayer. 💞

Jay's spirit was down. Bro, it's a harrowing feeling. We have a small dungeon in my country. The lies they tell !!

Nice job. From a partial Ghanaian decendent.

Jay, try and contact Judah's Exodus or Jerksoul in Accra. He's got lots to share. Keep up the good work 👏

This make me cry so much.

Great work Jay 👏

We need to learn from our past mistakes and stay focused so we don't loose guard again.... NEVER AGAIN. Yes they were forced out of their homes else they would not have bound them in heavy chains

Jay it's very emotional watching your video. I have been watching most videos of yours but this one makes me emotionally weak. I had in my life only seen the KETA DUNGEON in the Volta Region of Ghana. l can tell the brutal and barbaric activities were the same. Jay, you need to visit ANGOLA 🇦🇴 and MOZAMBIQUE 🇲🇿 too. Horrific stories and ill treatment of Afrikans who refused to take, bear or go with Portuguese names.

You are walking in their footstep , the music makes it painfully sad , very appropriate

Anyone believing forced baptism didn't take place is just dumb. They attempted to take; languages; rituals, names; culture; religion.... almost everything. It's amazing how much of mother Africa still remains though. They couldn't take the drum, the soul, the mind of our people which took aeons to cement.

Hello, bro 😭😭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️motherland

Good work my brother

I personally want to experience, know, see and feel how worship was performed, given and done before the knowledge of the Bible was given(forced upon) to our Ancestors.

Jay and the Church was right over the kitchen, which was over the room with pregnant women, women in defecation, on thier periods, in thier Urine. No wonder the trauma is so deep

I understand how many people would want and/or need to experience the dungeons and doors of no return, but it's not for me.

And so many White American, Portuguese, British, Irish, Denmark, and all these Western Nations thier current generations that are loving knows what happened. They are hiding it in secrecy. That's why for me forgiveness without repentance causes even more trauma.

Hey! We just moved to Ghana - Cape Coast (from USA) - I'd love to connect

@Jay, The dungeon does not disturb you? How do you feel when you go there?

😢

Only The Ocean Can Tell The Story

Thank you for sharing 💪🏾

Go to Port Harcourt Bonny Island, Calabar, Badagry, and other places along the Atlantic coast of West Africa the landmarks of slave trade are there. Stories the West would not like to hear and see.

Some of these Christians believe black pepper are cursed, because God cursed us because our ancestors were idol worshipers and noah curse one of his sons that he will serve the other yo justify slavery.

Emotional

All is well

hey I like your shirt

That are living i meant, not loving..tying error

IF THE SONG AMAZING GRACE WAS WRITTEN BY A SLAVE SHIP CAPTAIN WHICH TURNED HIM FROM WICKEDNESS TO REPENTANCE, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU THAT THE MISSIONARIES WERE THERE TO ONLY PREACH THE GOSPEL BOTH FOR THE WICKED OPPRESORS AND THE OPPRESED.

This symbolised the wickedness of the Colonists.

This is unthinkable how can a human being made in the image of GOD treat his fellow human being in this manner hmmm sad

Most Africans were from the west how does that correlate with east central southerners??

Sometimes I pray and I ask God, how long will you allow WP get away with the many evils done to your children, and till this day still doing. God Will there never be karma, is it fair.

It can't be reconciliation, it was thier failure to follow biblical or Christian instructions.😳

They don't like the appearance of God. That's all I can say....

Too bad

I think the male you tubers need to start doing makeup, because I saw you in osu,and you look handsome than in your videos.
