As a result, teenagers…

Slavery has been one of the most painful and brutal struggles Africans have ever endured, dating back millennia. Elmina and Cape Coast Castle are two well-known attractions in Ghana. Elmina Castle is a fortification on Ghana’s coast that was erected in 1482 as a Portuguese trading residence with approximately 91,000 square feet and was once one of the central slave depots. Elmina became a station on the slave trade and a prison for captives as the Europeans began to invade Africa.
