Elmina Castle / Cape Coast Castle - Year of Return: All Africans in Diaspora must visit the Castles

Cape Coast Castle is one of about forty "slave castles", or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa by European traders. It was originally a Portuguese "feitoria" or trading post, established in 1555. However in 1653 the Swedish Africa Company constructed a timber fort there.
Elmina Castle was erected by the Portuguese in 1482 as Castelo de São Jorge da Mina, also known as Castelo da Mina or simply Mina in present-day Elmina, Ghana. It was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest European building in existence south of the Sahara.

    Yes you have. They are rejoicing to see that their lineage, their decedents who carry their genes are still here and are their witnesses and voices that they didnt have. It is a victory. Be proud everyday you wake up

    Descended: It's a must our history weather it bad or good so when you're told to go back to your country you know what they're talking about pointless saying I was born here. It's not something to be ashamed of our ancestors died and fights, lived to share this story. Never to be forgotten. Dutch,Portuguese. European, the catholic church. Thank you very much for this information you're true history teacher
