Ghana – Day 4Cape Coast

A sobering awakening was about to occur

Cape Coast

IN EVERLASTING MEMORY of the ambush of our ancestors, may those who died rest in peace, may those who return find their roots. May humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. We the living vow to uphold this.

Cape Coast

Because of our ancestors, there is a return from “The door of no return”
