People don’t see how wonderful it is for this river to flow since the slave trade era up to date

I did this tour last September and was very moved by the experience. When we call these castles, we have to be cognizant of the lens we're viewing it from. For the owners, they were castles, but to the enslaved, they were dungeons. Btw, our ancestors were NOT slaves. In fact, they were free people who were enslaved. Great video!

Thank you for this, definitely need to be more cognizant of the language!

FYI Cameroon has it's own slave castle. A massive one at that. 47 acres of land " Bimbia slave castle" Cameroon. Slaves were shipped directly from Cameroon to the West. Eventhough it has been abandoned and not as publicised as that of Ghana, a good number of slaves were taken from Cameroon. I am from Cameroon and feel extremely sad about the whole slavery thing. Ubuntu!

In Ghana there are currently 32 "Slave Castles" left standing throughout the country with majority along the coast. Not just one castle. Elmina is one of the big ones. Some of the smaller ones disappeared into the ocean with sea erosion.

Screw Ghana and the Akan people. The Asante nation were the main tribe who sold rival tribes they defeated to the Portugese, who were the original builders of castles at El Mina and cape coast. The Akan people were involved in human trafficking since the 1400's. To my knowledge, the Asantehene has NEVER apologized for his ancestor's role in facilitating the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
