Journey to one of the most haunting buildings in Africa. A Slave Castle on Ghana's Cape Coast, visited recently by US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama who is herself a decedent of slaves. 'The Road To Elmina', set to a Miles Davis score.

Our next stop was Cape Coast and Elmina, towns on the coast with friendly people, laid back attitudes, beautiful palm lined beaches and unfortunately, a not so beautiful past. It was here where the start of the Gold Trade and eventually, the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade began. We stopped at Cape Coast Castle, a fort where slaves and gold were traded. Owned ultimately by the British, it is where many of the ancestors of Black Americans were held against their will, until being forced on the ...

On the outskirts of Assin Manso is the Slave River where the kidnapped and shackled Africans had the last opportunity to wash down after uncountable days of trekking by foot several hundreds of miles through thick forests and dusty savannah tracks and with little or no food on a North-South journey to the coast.

I am from California and I went to Ghana in the Spring of 2008. I toured northern Ghana where I took this footage. This site is five hundred or so years old. The far reaching desert and the barren landscape was the spot where colonialists kept their first slaves. They didn't have walls or buildings to keep them enclosed from the outside world, but the desert served as a barrier to escape. If a slave tried to escape, they would surely die of starvation, dehydration or heat exhaustion. The ...

Slave castles line the Ghanaian coast. The Cape Coast castle, as depicted in the following video, is an important world heritage site that serves as a reminder of horrific period between 1500-1850 during which time nearly 20 million Africans were shipped out of West Africa to be used as slaves in the European and American markets.

The Elmina Slave Castle was erected by the Portuguese in 1482, and restored by the Ghanaian government in the 1990s as a national museum and monument. The oldest European building in existence below the Sahara, the castle is located in Elmina, Ghana. Possession of the castle changed with the Dutch's seizure in 1637, and later the British in 1871. The British granted the Ghana (former the Gold Coast) independence in 1957. This video was created during my group's tour of the castle in 2009....
