Elmina Castle I Black History / Ghana 🇬🇭 Vlog #14 (2020)

[@SuperTruthful]

I visited Elmina and Cape Coast castles 3 times....overwhelming grief...happy you posted it. It's the reason why my black behind is in the USA.

[@sherriebumbray1748]

I'm so irritated by your friend's laughter. This is why I'm hesitant to visit the dungeons when I come next year. Too many tourists who have no understanding of the pain and suffering that the descendants of enslaved people feel when they visit those dungeons. I wouldn't want to share that space with adults who are laughing as if it's a joke. I.applaud you for taking your children to the dungeons. It's good to teach them young. Well done.

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Sherrie Bumbray the laughter was because someone farted in the room 🙈. Everyone there was very respectful towards what had happend there 🙏🏽

[@GeorginaEsiTakyiAnnan]

@@AnnaAcheampong hahahaaa😂😂😂😂😂

[@epersonmusic]

Look at the beautiful clear blue sky! In,the United States and other places in the West, the sky's are hazy from all the chemtrailing that's done everyday. I love the African sky!

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Eric Person it is a strangely beautiful place.

[@downy1202]

All American sky is not hazy. It depends on where you live. We have beautiful skies where I live in the US.

[@Black-lioness]

I never knew I would miss Afrikaans watching your old video’s while you spoke Dutch.. Dankie familie

[@KeepingUpwithQueen-Eva]

Love your videos. I visited there 7 years ago. So emotional . 💔 Medaase (Thank you) for posting . Just love being educated and learning about the history. 🥰

[@leahgordon8852]

I absolutely love your videos I came across you by accident and I'm soooooo happy I clicked on your video

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Hi Leah Gordon thats great to hear ☺️, have you suscribed ? Welcome to the Family ❤️

[@andrewsackey5728]

Am a Ghanian and I feel the pain but those who feel it more are the ones in diaspora especially African American😥

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Yes because they are the descendants of the people who were kidnapped

[@midodzitay2446]

👏🏿👍🏿 oui. C’est vraiment difficile, mais nécessaire pour nous tous. Vous êtes courageuse. Très bien, nous comprenons ta douleurs. Bonne journée.

[@hamiltona7]

This was a great vlog. Thank you for bringing us almond. Things have to change all over the world!

[@princessturay52]

i came hère in 2015 can’t wait to go back this year!

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Nice ! There are other nice castles to visit. Such as osu castle Capecoast castle etc. Xx

[@jordank1998]

Much respect to you both for taking the kids to learn the true history that our kids don’t get taught in the west. I appreciate how educational your videos are 👌. I’ve learned so much about Ghana just from watching your vlog so thank y’all so very much guys. God bless and keep y’all 🙏.

[@kwekugsm21]

We don’t even teach our kids our history,our stories and how brave and strong our ancestors are,not even in our schools but rather teaching them with brain washed books that so called bible and quoran. I wish one day our story will be told to ourselves and we BLACKS will be free and know ourselves better and come back to our senses.#TAG WE BLACKS NEED DISCIPLINE.

[@T3rdParti]

So sad when she asked if that was done to her Surinam friend too😔

[@dsman2968]

Discovering this in 2021 once i have seen your youtube videos in 2021 . And I am again very proud of you. Let people know. We can not change but we can try to make things better.

[@KeepingUpwithQueen-Eva]

I just had to watch this video again. Soo😕. Love the view of the sea.🥰

[@dianaikks9633]

This is the one place from Ghana I don't like to see. I'm gonna watch this on an other time. Although I saw so many video's about this. Can imagine me going out there. I'm just gonna keep watching video, when I'm in the mood.

[@naanamendez1123]

Micah was not having it in the dungeons. He just wanted to leave

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Naana Mendez yes i think even kids can feel what happend here. The atmosphere is weird i can not really describe it

[@isabellamatladi3733]

Ik vond jouw video heel leuk... Kusjes vanuit Zuid Africa 😘

[@WashingtonDC20032]

They were all psychotic. You can't be a sane person and treat another human being this way.

[@MiRae67]

Last but not least. Thnk u for this vid. Everything helps to bring awareness. Slavery still exist till this day. Modern day slavery.

[@MiRae67]

Not only Europeans were at fault sweety. Africa sold their own children. Because of the language barrier they didnt understand much. In later days they understood and they were misled. Instead of money or gold they were paid with shells. Sometimes you can see black descendants in diaspora wear shell necklaces or bracelets. That's what it represents actually. But most people don't know this. Some years back a king's representative went to Suriname to acknowledge and apologize for their part in this bad history of mankind.

[@Teawithextrabubbles]

We went there too it was horrible too see how we were treated!!

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Its so crazy 😢

[@bonadpro548]

It so sad

[@leahgordon8852]

Keep the videos coming xx

[@AnnaAcheampong]

We will Xx

[@julianaceansah8316]

Great seeing you taking your children to Elmina to experience the history and horror of the slave trade. My niece is a young children’s book author and has written a book about her character Effie titled “Effie at the Castle” where she visits Elmina Castle with Grandma.

[@singingbird8540]

Please please let yesterday be something to learn and not pain and anger we should celebrate their strength and endurance so they can be proud in their resting places that all humans are strong, to prove you are strong means you are a gladiator they were gladiators

[@newthought5807]

The descendants are still gladiators, if they were able to survive the journey.

[@SecretoftheAges360]

I am sure if I was to be there during the slave period like I will be very stubborn... Because I can't undergo such a torture... Sorry for our ancestors

[@lulolasammuel5586]

It hurts so deeply 💔

[@AnnaAcheampong]

LuLola Sammuel it really did 😢❤️

[@fredqwaqwu769]

Hi Mr & Mrs Acheampong, Good videos. It's amazing that you are covering so much in the country in a very short time. Please am encouraging you and your wife to make use anything you are capable of doing. I want you and your wife to run for public office since you desire so many things could be changed for better. Also your emotions you show in some of the videos, I can see the passion you and your wife have shown in most of your videos. Just saying please, am just suggesting. Thanks

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Hello Mr. Fred Qwaqwu, Thank you very much, that is a huge compliment. We would try our very best to make the best out of the time and experience we are gaining day by day. Much love, Acheampong Fam ❤️

[@AH-qd7bt]

Very difficult to take 🙏

[@AnnaAcheampong]

A Harun yes it was 😢

[@cassie_Tv.]

Ik snap wel hoe je voelt ik ben ook Ghanees maar ik woon in België en we hebben ook die feestdagen eerst had ik niet door dat dat racistisch was want ik was nog klein maar toen ik ouder werd had ik door dat dit echt racistisch want eerst had ik niet door dat ze slaven waren (toevallig zijn ze allemaal zwart ) tot dat ik een lied had gehoord en dat ging zo: “Sinterklaasje kom maar binnen met je KNECHT” en toen had ik het door ik vond dat niet leuk . Ps ik hou van jou video’s Ghanian squaaaad ❤️🇬🇭

[@cassie_Tv.]

Groetjes aan Maika en Sophie Jane

[@cassie_Tv.]

Ik en mijn famillie gingen eigenlijk deze zomervakantie naar ghana gaan maar nu gaat dat niet meer door de coronavirus 🙁😞 ik mis Ghana 🇬🇭❤️

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Wat jammer zeg ! echt een rot virus ik hoop dat het snel stopt en iedereen weer veilig is. Stay Safe Xx

[@cassie_Tv.]

Acheampong Adventures OMG bedankt dat hij hebt geantwoord ❤️ en hoe is het met Ghana 🇬🇭

[@mustaffda]

Is soo sad

[@bartjelsma]

Gaat er iemand morgen naar Cardi B, in Accra Sports Stadium?

[@AnnaAcheampong]

We did not go, but alot of people did ! were you there ? Xx

[@bartjelsma]

@@AnnaAcheampong yes I was there, it was nice, I did not know what to expect, just went there, bought a ticket, waited for hours to enter, and again waited for hours to see Cardi B perform. Dj Swarovski and the other artists were entertaining as well. My oldest daughters were jealous because they are not in Ghana. Trouwens ik zag jullie gistermiddag op de parkeerplaats van een Mall naar de auto lopen met een doos. Herkende Kevin eerst, zag toen de kidz, daarna mama in het rood rechts. Kwou jullie niet storen, liep naar binnen, met links meteen de supermarkt waar je standaard 5% korting krijgt met een loyaliteitskaart.

[@michaelagyeman5372]

This is why we as Africans are annoyed when descendants of the Dutch come to Ghana and want us to live like their forefathers, who brutalized us. Now, that Ana is in Ghana, you need to take time to understand the unfriendliness of your forefathers and the deprivation as well as their immense contribution to our lack thereof. Find out that the entire Ghana GDP is the same as the entire Rottadam GDP, and then see if any country can afford good roads and even parks for their citizens and why you think it is not such a big deal. The Dutch and Switzerland have gold deposits that do not belong to them. Can you ask them to bring it back? They will tell you that is old history but the Jewish have been paid retribution, why not us? Lack of humanity and respect. And innocently you knowing. Another side effect of colonization is the corruption introduced so subtle into the colonized system and African never saw anything wrong with it.

[@kwameasimah]

Visit Assin Manso where they used to bathe the slaves

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Oke where is that ?

[@kwameasimah]

Acheampong Adventures not far from Cape coast where we have the slave dungeons

[@GettingGoshen]

You have to REMEMBER rhe Slaves GOT to this PLACE BECAUSE THEIR OWN PEOPLE SOLD THEM TO THESE SLAVE OWNERS..SOMETIMES FOR AS LITTLE AS A BOTTLE OF GIN...WE HAVE TO OWN UP TO THAT RESPONSIBILITY ‼

[@jaymesmensah]

Lol... why do you want to spit on the grave? Looks like you were really bored....

[@AnnaAcheampong]

Jaymes Mensah not bored, but very angry ! Why would they bury someone in the castle and remember him with a plaque and all why he raped, killed and probably did a whole other lot of horrific thing. That made me want to spit on his grave. 😢

[@jaymesmensah]

@@AnnaAcheampong I now understand your anger..... This is really bad. 🥺🥺

[@cypriansun]

Men turned a beautiful sea into a red sea of blood...so baddd

[@daintyflygirl4va]

What a torture.Sorry.

[@paqbert5042]

The story is bad
