Overview

The last time we saw you, you were in chains and shackles.
We heard your cry's In the dungeon and you were marched through the door of no return never
to return to your culture and people, stripping you of your African Identity.
Mothers hoped to reunite with their kidnapped sons,
Children waited for their parents to return to them.
The land still mourns the death of the sons and daughters that couldn’t make it
Emancipation was all our ancestors cried, bled and hoped for, to one day see the land they
once called home, returning not in shackles but with stronger descendants appreciating and
acknowledging the resilience and power that bore them.
Reunite with the land and retrace the footsteps of our
ancestors and reconnect with your people.
This is my way of retelling the untold stories of the darkest days of our history we try to forget yet remembering the screams and tears.

What To Expect

Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park

we visit the Assin Manso slave river site which served as the place where slaves had their last bath on African soil before being marched down to the slave castles. They were fed and cleaned so they appeared attractive and healthy to guarantee higher prices. hot branding irons were used to burn identifying marks onto the skin of captives. The marks were a scar on the shoulder, breast or upper arm to show ownership. Other times, branding was used to show that proper duty had been paid. it is now a sacred place of remembrance. it is home for the first 2 diasporas (Lady Crystal from Jamaica and Samuel Carson from New York) whose remains were brought to Ghana through the “door of return” and Reburied. Also remains of African slave descendants from Barbados are buried on the site to symbolize emancipation and reconnection.
