Visiting Ghana's slave castles can be a deeply emotional and thought-provoking experience. These castles were used as a hub for the transatlantic slave trade, where countless Africans were captured, imprisoned, and shipped to the Americas to be sold into slavery. Today, the castles serve as a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during the slave trade era and the lasting impact it had on African societies.

For many visitors, the experience of walking through the cramped, dark dungeons where slaves were kept in squalid conditions can be overwhelming. It is a stark reminder of the brutal reality of the slave trade and the inhumane treatment of enslaved Africans. The experience can also evoke feelings of anger, sadness, and grief as visitors come face to face with the harsh realities of the past.

Anthony Briscoe traveled from the United States to Ghana for a historic visit to the ancient slave castles and share his thoughts in this podcast.
