Cape Coast is one of the biggest of the many dungeons on the coast of West Africa that stored Africans in the early 1500s to mid 1800s that were used & abused as cargo on slave ships destined for the plantations of the Americas and the Caribbean. Ghana is one of the most incredible places in Africa and the world. You have to be there to experience the experience of a lifetime.

Ghanaian people that I've met in America were very friendly and just good people. Much love to 🇬🇭 Ghana.
SLAVERY IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Slavery is something which should NOT happen.
Slaveri exist todey in menny country.
@@bosavengren2029 but we are talking about ours
@@eawatahatanguatama383 Have you look who bild the castel from beginnin
@@bosavengren2029 they are still talking about who's slavey
The walls do speak, and so does the DNA in us. We carry all our ancestors within us.
Facts bro much love
I loathe the term "descendants of slaves". We are descendants of SURVIVORS!
So is everyone or else we wouldn't exist. I know what you mean but using survivor doesn't make sense.
Dont "loathe" it. We are the Descendants of the enslaved survivors. The most RESILIENT population in American HISTORY
@@toddmaek5436 we will always be hated--as gods chosen people!
@Stop Cry Low key racism right here
Yes I love u for that
"The Door of Return"- so powerful!
"so powerful" lmao
Very powerful indeed
It is The Door of No Return.
Its a marketing scheme
@@toddmaek5436 lol you must be them FBA or ADOS shits
Still remember this day like yesterday. God bless Africa
After my visit to Elmina I wanted to return to Ghana and the people. I felt a strong sadness along with a hurt at the despairing families torn apart. The stalls that held mothers children and fathers were separated , the guide told us how one could hear outcrying of kidnapped men women and children. I stood there on centuries of blood feces and tears, stunned ! I walked away knowing my life would never be the same I wanted to return to live with and learn more about those incredible brave people . ...
We the Afro Americans and Afro Caribbeans are the ones who suffered the worst terrorism ever happened in this land.
Some of the things documented and recorded has left wounds that will never heal by mankind.
GOD knows all about our troubles and He promised to guide us through to the end of life.
@@blacklove4125 suffering and slavery is not a competition just share your story and stop trying to compare, its shameful doing that
The President's views during his visit to the Coast, are quite candid and sincere as he discusses his personal connection to the African Holocaust. President Obama eloquently speaks about the challenges for an African American and gives his "take" on why some Americans of African descent feel far removed from this "distant land," which some call home. Thanks for posting Bomani Tyehimba.
I never knew Anderson Cooper came to Ghana. I would've loved to see him. I've been his fan for a long long time. Hope you enjoyed my motherland🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thank you for posting this.
Wow, Obama's words regarding this experience are phenomenal, so much respect for him in many ways!
I AM SO INTERESTED IN GOING TO GHANA! MY MOM WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SLAVE DUNGEONS BECAUSE SHE HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ME AND MY SISTERS THE REAL HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE!
Pls come n c it urself
Montray McGee you’re always welcome home 🇬🇭🙏🏾
Ghana 🇬🇭 is the Heart ❤️ Of Africa 🌍 ... Rest in Peace to our Ancestors 🖤🕊
I am a British Ghanaian and I’m still not over the fact that when Obama goes to Ghana I’m in the UK and when he is in the UK I was in Ghana. FYI I class myself as Ghanaian first and always have. I just have to add the British so it’s clear where I reside (for now).
know your history or be doomed to repeat it
He will repeat his story.not you're storey
Thank you For your Sacrifice & Service to our World! Obama & Cooper Yahweh bless! Your spiritual journey!
Great commentary Mr President 😘😘😭 You will be missed so much!
WOW I miss having a true leader and role model for the world.
Speak for yourself. He's hated in Ethiopia now.
He aint your friend bro. As shown here. He is literally ALL LIVES MATTERING your history. Heritage and ancestors. Shameful.
@@amanrusom9498 why??
Sorry, majority don't as yet but things are changing very quickly as people are finding out about him
1)Tried to bring the homosexuality with help of Hillary Clinton to Africa. 2) part of the global elite, i don't understand the second one really but Ethiopian don't like being ordered and that also against our lord. I think it's best that the african Americans should not be involved with east Africa as serious issues will develop.
He is not a role model. He’s a used car salesmen at best.
Black beautiful Africa the birthplace of all true humans
Blessings who remember
We have taken 2 big groups to Ghana Oct 2007 & 2008. One of the main attractions on our itinerary is the Cape Coast and Elmina Holocaust Dungeons. I can sense the tension going through President Obama. I have always said that we have to be in these African Holocaust Dungeons to experience the experience and connect with what happen to our ancestors. Anyway what do you think about this interview? Have you been there before?
Hi, are yall still making visits to Africa
I don’t think he felt tension to many references to other world events ie holocaust like to down play the African horrors.
I am Haitian this so so sad and that is why we never forgot our rich culture. Other blacks in the Americas make fun od us but Africans embrace us like brothers and sisters they never stop talking about us Haitians. I forgive white people for what they have done but I will never forget never. My son has a white father and he shall know the history the real one. I do not see him as black but metis because we both made him.
AFRICANS ARE THE ONES THAT SOLD YOU
KILLMONGER X Absolutely not , time for you read the real history book, not the one whitewashed history book
How can you forgive them for slavery when they never apologised to you or any black person? I don't get it????
@@WORKSbaby that's what the white told you and thats who you choose to believe. The one who has historically lied and deceive you...?
Nigerians sold a lot of slaves that went to places like Haiti majority come from Benin/ Congo

Wish I could go there ....I want to.....
someday...someday....😍
belllarosa , I was white man , I couldn't go there,in Ghana , because white colonialists met their own needs our Blacks, even, now, they don't like us
i can help u get here

1st decide to go then figure out how. Don't put it off and don't wait for others. I got tired of trying to get others to accompany me and just went by myself the 1st time. When you meet Ghanaians you develop friendships and the next time you go you'll have friends to visit. Also there are thousands of repats who live there and once you meet them they introduce you to others. Before you know it you're comfortable. If you're looking for a Ghanaian version of America you should stay in America. It can be a cultural shock if you go there with the wrong attitude. I love Ghana but it's not for everyone. Some African Americans go there and act white by talking down to the locals. If you treat them like equals and a friend your visit will have a better experience. . If you want the USA experience, try south Africa. It's closer to being in America. You still have to be careful but that's anywhere you go including cities in the USA especially when it comes to scammers.
Peace!!
How time flies... It's a hard feeling to accept that slavery has ever happened
Even the white said this is the home everyone come from ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿(alkebulan)
My GGGrandmother lived here as a child in 1814, aged just nine. with her mother and step father who was a lieutenant in the African Corps. She wrote a poem about her feelings while living there. She barley new what the place was and she was the only child to live there, surrounded by soldiers and cannons yearning to return home to her beloved England but not until her step father died did she eventually return home.
Oh man... I miss Obama in the WH so much. we have fallen so far.
Anderson in never knew you visited Ghana before
POWERFUL SADNESS ME ●Castano BROWN FAMILY 💜DAPHNE COTTON. INCREDIBLE THANKS YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA! BROTHER.
@Harun251 Very good point!
You are welcome home the land of Africa and and let’s forgive and forget 🏡 🏠
Listen u really think its easy to forgive and forget? Yes its the right thing to do,but a huge task,esp after researching and seeing how badly our ancestors were treated,and then visualise such ill treatment in this very day and age....u will wana snap,I'm full of rage and equally emotionally drained!! Merge that with forgiving and forgetting,our people died mercilessly in the hands of these ill created people and u think it'll be easy to for-what????? Ok then!!
@@jwill1star then live with your rage. Good luck with that.
Stop calling it a castle it’s a Fort!
Its a dungeon.
Wow 😮! Thanks for telling me that I could never live there. That’s not good.

Heart broken
I hope i dont have a nervous breakdown but i have to stay strong
Black history its a sad world we living for what people are doing to each other
I’m reminded of slavery just because I know I bare the last name of one - rip My great Grandpa
Will africa sent for us or even ask us to come and see them as special guests?
Love how the Secret Service is keeping their distance but eerily stalking Obama and Anderson like stalkers in the background lol.
"Fighting on arrival, Fighting for survival"
He evaded a couple of questions
Yes, I don't think he really cared! Especially given what he did to the African leader who wanted to liberate Africa as a whole. He did nothing for Africa or African Americans. Sad! Brainwash is real. He certainly accomplished what they put him as the president to do! So sad! Politics!!!!!!
Schola Ford So true what you stated. He could have spoken about the bad deals the former colonizers imposes of African nations. He could have mentioned how France is financially abusing its former French colonies of Africa. No, instead he went to Africa to sell the homosexual agenda a chastise the African leaders about how corruptions, but mentioned nothing about the corruption of the former colonizers. He used every chance to chastise black folks in the USA, but when Byron Allen asked him to investigates the bank practice of doing business with the black community he folded his hands. He just wanted to do a be something his father wasn’t. A useless black president for black people at home and abroad.
Judy Jones, you couldn't have said this any other way. Yes, he tried everything possible to convince the African leaders that homosexuality is ok! He got SA though . Since his people couldn't do it, they had to use him...."a black man" to do their dirty work as usual. He was a complete disgrace, Africans didnt see it, they still don't! And some African Americans didnt see it either. They will stand by him no matter what. History only repeats its self when it comes to these types of blacks turning against blacks. Smh!
🇬🇭
So why are the Native Americans allowed reparations blacks are not? When black Americans faughted to become Americans in pretty much every war since they land in the Americas. I am Haitan I will never forget what happened because we look no different than our ancestors really proud of that. How my country we made to fail because we faught the French ass holes fair and they went home and cried to the world. We were made to never allowed to advanced and whites should tell the real truth to why.
How u expected your family make orders slaves we are your parents
LET ALL OF US LEARN FROM THE MISTAKE & MAKE THE FUTURE BETTER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
Obama might think like a whiteman but his blackness cannot be denied due to his father's heritage. Thumbs up if you think Obama is black.
Who else here is noticing the secret service not being very far away..?.😂
shhh it's a secret
😭😭😭😭😭😭
African guards this day "One of us made it in America. It might be one man but this is meaningful."
Same guards 2020 "that's more like it..."
Hmm 🤔
@oluwalogbon58 I agree 100%!
😢😢😢😢🌷🌷🌷🌷
😔😔😔😢😢😢
That wasn't obamas legacy though, but he's still in the fam. Michelle and the daughters for sure are in that stream.
I'm sure the most high God will remind the whole world what they done and one day will be judge you are your father's children's and you benefit from the sin
Rugged Techie... Are you joking? You know that Barack's blood is half actual African, right? Anyone in America who has black or brown skin are "from that stream." That includes Barack. But Barack even more so. Listen from his own mouth about his father. ua-cam.com/video/CYvwYWabWvs/v-deo.html
@@anitaneal3082 There is no God. If there was, and He was "Almighty," do you think slavery would have even happened?
@@BetterMe981 the people of Israel were enslaved in Egypt. God kills His own people for sinning so you probably don't understand
@@yawowusuansah2029 I probably wouldn't understand fairy tales? You're wasting your life and everyone else's with that fantasy thinking/living.
What does the interviewer mean by the enslaved africans were shipped to the new world at 3:32 ?
That's what they call the "discovered" lands. The ones that already existed with people, languages, culture, heritage and traditions.🤦🏽♀️ #everythingSTOLEN!
It means the slaves were shipped to america.
Obama is great 👍 with lots wisdom god bless you sir this touch my heart ❤️☹️😕😟🙁🧐
the portuguese were the first Europeans to enslave Africans but they were not any more cruel than other Europeans who did it. the thing is slavery did occur and Europeans did enslave our people and treated them as commodities..but we cannot change the past
President Obama in West Africa trip to see his forefathers ancestors!
I wonder do obama felt anything when he went in that castle
Andrea mcgehee No, he kept referencing the holocaust.
the door of 'NO RETURN', Fire Burn dem opressors! Fire!
Slavery in Africa was a lot of places like west africa,east Africa and there is still exist indirect or direct so, it needs a lot work to do on it especially those who start they have to appology otherwise it'll cost them one day because the world will change as weather changes and no one has for ever leave and victory
Damn, those Secret Service Special Agents are everywhere. They don't fuck around. I like how they act like they not following Obama.
I love how he said he taught his children and got them to imagine themselves as both the oppressors and the oppressed. It’s often overlooked that we have to think about the people that commit evil acts as well as those they hurt in order to avoid something similar happening again.
He spoke about his wife not himself listen to it again.
Bro hi is kenyan and his father from kenya
Again catches himself before he says he was born there.
You are incorrect. It was discovered that he is a descendant of slaves on his MOTHER's side. And she appeared to be white. That proves the point: There is one race, and that is the human race. Yet many throughout history have treated other differently simply because of the color of skin and hair texture.
Where is Humanity..shameful today is no different..
No it aint....and some people want to talk about forgive and forget...not when they still ill treat and extort us!!
@@jwill1star to have humanity, you just be human first!
@rphillips111 Varying degrees of happiness? The fact that one race enslaves another has no happiness in it, no matter what the outcome in the future is. I wonder what Caucasians would be saying now if their forefathers had been enslaved
They will find out soon enough. What goes around comes around.
@fineguh -Hahahaaha enyways entitle to ure opinion however I stand on my views..after sll u are u am me...
This may affect his wife and two daughters more ,they share the blood of both slave and master.he doesn’t.
His mother is white!
Since I love the truth--after all, the truth shall set you free--I despise and fear propaganda.
Obama made his public relations trip to Ghana a while back. This arrticle and comment line has been around a number of days now.
There have been seven post--now eight. Three of them have been my own. I'd say, based on those statistics, the country has paid about as much attention to his visit as it deserved.
he seriously was making excuses for slavers in under 2 minutes...
no wonder
I wonder what would be the conversation ,If you knew that the so-called negro is in the image of the Son of God? The God of all that is created
Visited no other nation on earth but Judah ,he appeared to no other notion but Judah ,he walked with no other nation but Juda ."YAHSHUA" called the nation his son ,he loves us we are his heritage ,we bear the marks of the high calling of God.Just as he walked with the three Hebrew
Brothers in the fiery furnish ,"YAHSHUA" also walked with us in the bottom of the ships,through the waters,through the wilderness of America., through the lynchings, through the murders ,through the boomings .We have his word " "I will never leave you nor forsake you ,I will visit you in the latter days and all the nation's shall know that I have loved you".
But America treated their slaves the worst of all.
No they didn’t it was the French. And Belgians
No Brazil was the worst.
Portuguese stated slave trade that why their country is today cursed .In Africa , they go anywhere to open small business selling fish and chips .Furthermore, Portugal has the highest illiteracy rate in western Europe .
Mind of the slave merchant......they had no conscience , or they simply ignored it .
for lack of a better word some comments here are just "dumb"
doubt some peoples thinking and learning abilities right now
Heritage is nothing but culture. There is one race: Human
Even Jeremiah Wright said that Obama is a politician first before he is anything else.
Funny how this about Obama. I’ve been there. He was the furthest thing from my thoughts.
That is a history we can never erase. Sadly, they may have used the name of Christ, and Christianity to enslave our ancestors but HE, JESUS, is using HIS NAME to set us free. Free from mental and physical enslavement. Free to live again, to forgive and recieved forgiveness. It is our history, all around the world we see, hear and read about man's inhumanity to his fellow man but God in His mercy brings healing to all our wounds.
Hmmm even Obama can't talk it hard for him but he try huh first time I think
"Inequality and racism exist not because of evil but because the unaffected majority put their interests above all others, and their inaction allows inequality to flourish. That is why I believe that silence in the presence of injustice is as bad as injustice itself. White people who are quiet about racism might not plant the seed, but their silence is sunlight." - Michael Harriot
Our ANCESTORS DIED FOR US NOT JESUS!!! that's why we ghanaian pray and add the name nananom (ancestors) we are generations of SURVIVORS
Such a good President
It's a trip that this has absolutely nothing to do with his history.
What a stupid thing to say. He is African.
So when r blacks getting reparations
This white reporter is asking such questions "do you think what happened here still has resonance in America" WFT!?
Yea why dont you talk about the stuff going on today. And, hey what about the Irish holocaust at the hands of the British? No one ever speaks about it.
Wasn't slavery done by the Dutch Jews? You figure
The Continental Slave Trade and the Nazi holocaust were not alike. How dare he try to compare the two! With any due respect to Obama as the president of America, It was his ancestors from both his fathers and mothers people, sold my ancestors. I will never forget!!
I WILL NEVER FORGET!!! MY CREATOR YAH COMMANDS IN IS HOLY WORD FOR ME TO REMEMBER! Judgement shall be done by YAH! I personally have no desire to go to Africa until after YAH"s Kingdom is established on earth. And if I never see it before then,Praise YAH! Revelation 21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that over cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Praise Yah! To Yah be the glory. Halle-lu-Yah!
Then you just as delusional
