A Walkthrough Of the Elmina Castle – West African Slave Trade History, Ghana


This was the second fort / castle we visited in Ghana which was part of the West African slave trade. All of these castles and forts along the coast have one distinct feature, the door of no return. The door people left and never returned to their homeland before setting foot on a boat which brought them to the Americas, against their…

  1. I have walked through El Mina ~ 20 years ago. My father was born in Ghana not far from the Gold Coast and Ivory Coast slave port. Now I understand where my claustrophobia and anxiety came from. It’s in my DNA.
    profoundly consequential. Walking through the narrow dark one-way passage, the very same tunnel my ancestors walked into the New World was a life changing experience.

    The voice of the captive souls who passed through echoes in the walls.

  2. Hi, trust you are well. Just came across this video, I am doing a documentary on the Continued effect of slavery on the black man. Unfortunately, we can't get to GHANA Cape Coast Castle due to budget constraints. Is it possible to use some of your footage? We are doing an Educational feature.

  3. It is sad the things we humans often do to one another, things we institutionalize, only to find out decades or even centuries later how wrong we were.
    And we say we don't believe in slavery today, but what are we doing about those that are forced into sex slavery? A young lady who lives here in the U.S. told how she escaped living in North Korea, only to be a sex slave for awhile (I think in China, not sure), before she could make her way here. That's been in the 21st century! We may not be forcing people to work plantations, but we Americans aren't doing enough, or really much of anything, to stop the sex slavery going on right here in our own country!
    If you want to stop it, a big step would be to make all pornography illegal, all aspects of it. Making it, owning it, distributing it, and wilfully acting in it. They'll scream about free speech rights and the Constitution, but we can't let them use that for that purpose, the Constitution wasn't written by perverts.
