Slave Trade: What Makes GHANA the #1 Destination for Africa’s Slave Trade History

Step back in time as I take you on a journey to uncover one of the most significant and sobering parts of Ghana's history: the transatlantic slave trade. In this video, I visit several historic slave forts, with a deep focus on the iconic Elmina Castle—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that holds the stories of millions.

At Elmina Castle, I spend time with a knowledgeable guide (Martin Coffie) who walks me through the haunting yet essential history of this place. We discuss its role in the slave trade, the conditions enslaved Africans endured, and the legacy it leaves behind. I also ask questions about its preservation and why it remains such an important site for education and remembrance.
