Visiting Ghana's Slave Castle at Cape Coast | AFTV Ghana Tour Day 2

[@blaqLion]

As a Jamaican raised Washington DC, Maryland and virgiy. I have a opportunity to visited Ghana, i went to this HOLOCAUST DANGEON CASTLE first time in November 2019 the year of return, and I was sad, angry, cried like a baby, because of what our brave ancestors went through. Ever since then i always go back to Ghana, i met a beautiful Ghanaian, Barbados lady. After a year later, we got married in Cape Coast, we have twins boy and girl, we are building in Aburi, when we complete our project we will move back to Ghana. Long live MAMA AFRICA and her children around the world

Mind you there are about 48 slave Castles in Africa and Ghana alone has 42 of the tell you how important Ghana 🇬🇭 is to the Blacks in the Diaspora....Just like our Muslim brothers and sisters journey on a pilgrimage to Meca so should all people come to Ghana and the Motherland to reconnect and relive the experience... One love AFTV.

[@lancelotscott2655]

As a Jamaican, its really emotional knowing what our foreparents went through...great to see the connection with our African ancestry...what a coincidence that Woda Maya, who is from Ghana is currently here in Jamaica making the same connection.. great work AFTV .

I’ve been lucky enough to visit many countries in the world. Ghana is by far the nicest place I’ve been. The people too, they just want to make you happy. Cape coast is somewhere I will never forget . Mole national park was my favourite place in the world. I even had the national flag tattooed on my arm. ❤️💛💚

[@cmurillophoto]

Of all the beautiful things to see in Ghana. I am happy to see you guys explored here. I have been here before, and as a white American, I can say it was an extremely powerful experience seeing the infrastructure that ultimately built America to what it is. I was equally horrified and humbled. Please continue enjoying this incredible experience with a beautiful people. Indulge in some dried fish stew with fufu or benku for the local Ghanaian cuisine

[@benjaminappiah6132]

What's even sad it's that Ghana has 42 of such evil castles dotted along it's coast from West to East. Amongst the 45 slave castles in Africa, Ghana has 42. The Europeans chose Ghana to pepertuate their crimes.

Are you gentlemen in GHANA for real? Congratulations! I am a Ghanaian residing in West Lafayette, Indiana. I have been in the United States for the past 22 years.

I enjoy listening to the gentleman, who is originally from Nigeria (sorry I cannot recall his name). He is an interesting gentleman to listen to. In one of your videos from the 2022/23 season when Arsenal was high flying, he was dancing with his daughter. Please enjoy the very best of my motherland. GOD BLESS AFRICA!

Tottenham fan in peace. I write books about dark tourism - visitation to places associated with death & disaster, but haven't made it to Cape Coast, so I was very interested to see this video when it came up in my sidebar. Your guide was exceptional in presenting the narrative with sensitivity, & captured the essence of what we could, & indeed should, take away from dark sites that have become reinvented as tourist attractions in contemporary times. Exceptional camera-work too. Well played, AFTV.

Wow! Just wow. A really important narrative that Robbie, Cecil and Thomas (the impressive tour guide) handled with such sensitivity and grace. Abit of a heavy subject, but a necessary one.
