On June 19, 1865, enslaved African-American people in Galveston, Texas were finally informed that slavery had ended in the United States and that they were free. (The Emancipation Proclamation, the Executive Order that ended slavery, went into effect two years prior 🙃) This day, known as Juneteenth, is celebrated in the United States as the end of chattel slavery and a day to celebrate African-American freedom.

Before Ghana was known as the Gold Coast, it was part of the Slave Coast, the area of West Africa that was a major location for sending enslaved Africans to the US, Caribbean, and Brazil. It is estimated that 66,0000 enslaved Africans that arrived in the US were from present-day Ghana.

The first picture in this series is of Cape Coast Castle, one of the castles used to hold enslaved Africans before they were forcibly sent to different countries. The second picture is a map of the Slave Coast in 1729. The third picture is of Collinwise Osei-Aboagye, a Ghanaian immigrant to the US, with members of his pharmacy school class at Howard University in the late 1980s. Howard University is a historically black university in the US. In his clip, Mr. Osei-Aboagye shares how the struggles African-Americans faced made it possible for him to live in the US.

Happy Juneteenth! May we all continue to work for the liberation of people of African descent all over the world.

#Repost @thisdateinpiratehistory ・・・ • 3 April • On #thisdateinpiratehistory in 1722, the first six members of Bartholomew Roberts’ crew to be found guilty of piracy were hanged at Cape Coast Castle. Upon being brought back to Cape Coast Castle after their defeat and capture by Capt. Chaloner Ogle, the most obviously guilty and the most obviously innocent were the first to be tried. Starved, emaciated, and dressed in rags, only a small handful retained their swagger. At the end of March the court rattled through sixteen of the Old Standers in one day. Fourteen were found guilty; six were immediately sentenced to hang. The court was eager to remove any ringleaders from organizing a potential uprising. These six, who could be considered the very core of Roberts crew, stood in front of Captain Mungo Herdman as he passed judgement: “It is your aggravation, that ye have been the chiefs and rulers in these licentious and lawless practices.” As was so often the case, these condemned six were led to the gallows at Cape Coast Castle and hanged until they were dead. Their bodies were then taken down and hung in gibbets “on the most eminent hills around this place, very conspicuous to the shipping as it passes.” The trials would continue for three weeks, with a total of seventy-two men sentenced to hang. Of those, twenty had their sentences commuted to seven years’ service in the mines of Cape Coast Castle - an effective, albeit much slower, death sentence. It was the greatest slaughter of pirates ever carried out by the Admiralty. The First Six were: William Magness Thomas Sutton Little David Valentine Ashplant Christopher Moody Richard Hardy . . . . . #piratehistory #piratehistorypodcast #piratesofthecaribbean #pirateship #historyofpirates #pirates #piracy #piratecaptain #bartholomewroberts #blackbart #capecoastcastle #piratecore #pirateking https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5uPCTJSm2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our journey continued to #Capecoastcastle , still in #Elmina . This one’s got a little #museum inside that you pass through before you begin the tour. Also clearly they were under attack more cos the amount of cannon balls and cannons they had were ridiculous. Kudos to #Capecoast for that intense preservation #history #slavetrade #slavery #Ghana #travel #traveldiaries #throwbackthursday #slavehistory #blackandwhitefilter

Ancestor Project by Kwame Akoto @osramba_media 🙏🏾 The enslaved ancestors of the #Nkyinkyiminstallation at my studio before they left for the slave forts and dungeons of Usher Fort and and Cape Coast Castle. If you ever thought this was haunting then you should see them now. I'm leaving Cape Coast Castle today after a brief visit, doing research for the next stage of the installation. The atmosphere there have already taken toll on them. You can literally see the light and life have been sucked out of them. I can only imagine what happened to human beings. See the next post for current photos. . . . #supportblackart #kwameakoto #ancestorproject #capecoastcastle #usherfort #blacklivesmatter #capeCoast #Ghana #diaspora #africanart #death #exhibition #artislife #ancestors #blackmancan #ancestorproject #artworld #hope #history #humanity #africaunite #ghanaianartist #scupture #sculptureart #installationart #artinstallation #neverforget #africanamazing #osrambamedia (at Cape Coast, Ghana)

‘If These Shores Could Talk...’ - The fishing port of Cape Coast | 📷: @KarlFergusonJr - This scene was a much needed reprieve on that intense afternoon. After a difficult experience in coming face to face with the relics of this fort that was integral in the enslavement of thousands of our African ancestors... nothing was better than basking in the joyful energy of the many children running back and forth along the port shore to dive into the open waters with their friends. 🙏🏾 - #ghana #capecoastcastle #africa #portrait #photography #portraitphotography #celebrityphotography #portraitsnyc #portraits_ig #blacknwhite #bnw #canoneosr (at Cape Coast Castle, Central, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BGWdwp3CO/?igshid=vrsvamjekjik

Ghana's 'Beyond the Return': A Journey Through History and Hope.

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that bridges centuries of history with a vision for the future? Welcome to Ghana's "Beyond the Return" initiative – a powerful invitation to explore, connect, and invest in a land rich with cultural heritage and promising opportunities.

The Echoes of History: Ghana and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

Ghana, a jewel on Africa's western coast, holds a pivotal place in world history. For centuries, it was a major hub in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, a dark chapter that saw millions of Africans forcibly transported to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries.

Today, Ghana's coast is dotted with stark reminders of this era:

- Cape Coast Castle: A UNESCO World Heritage site, this fortress once held enslaved Africans before their harrowing journey across the Atlantic.

- Elmina Castle: The oldest European building in sub-Saharan Africa, it played a significant role in the slave trade.

These sites serve not just as tourist attractions, but as powerful memorials and educational centers, offering visitors a chance to reflect on the past and its lasting impact on our world today.

Beyond the Return: A Bridge to the Future.

In 2019, Ghana launched the "Year of Return," marking 400 years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. The initiative was a resounding success, attracting thousands of visitors from the African diaspora and beyond.

Building on this momentum, Ghana introduced "Beyond the Return" – a visionary initiative that looks to the future while acknowledging the past. Here's what makes it special:

1. Cultural Reconnection: Experience vibrant festivals, traditional ceremonies, and immersive cultural exchanges.

2. Investment Opportunities: Discover Ghana's growing sectors, from technology to agriculture, ripe for international collaboration.

3. Simplified Migration: Learn about programs designed to make it easier for people of African descent to visit, live, or invest in Ghana.

4. Tourism with Purpose: Explore Ghana's stunning landscapes, from pristine beaches to lush national parks, while contributing to local communities.

Why Choose Ghana for Your Next Journey?

Ghana offers a unique blend of historical significance and future potential:

- Rich History: Dive deep into centuries of West African culture and global history.

- Warm Hospitality: Experience the legendary Ghanaian hospitality, known as "Akwaaba."

- Natural Beauty: From the bustling streets of Accra to the serene shores of Lake Volta, Ghana's diverse landscapes await.

- Economic Opportunities: Be part of Ghana's growing economy, with sectors like tech, agriculture, and tourism booming.

Plan Your Transformative Trip Today.

Whether you're seeking to connect with your roots, explore new investment opportunities, or simply experience the warmth and beauty of West Africa, Ghana's "Beyond the Return" initiative offers something for everyone.

Today marks the beginning of a new year in my journey! I'm eternally grateful for the abundance of blessings bestowed upon my life. I'm thankful for each and every soul I encounter along the path. It is my intention that no matter how crazy circumstances may appear, we see the true light in one another and always seek to raise that vibration. ---- I've chosen this birthday to return to #ghana and specifically to revisit the sacred spaces where America's blemished history took it's ugliest turn. The ancestral energy present here strengthens me fundamentally and reminds me how powerful the shoulders I stand on truly are. You are unstoppable. Your greatness cannot be contained. Unleash it relentlessly and soar. That would be the greatest #birthday gift I could ever ask for.... thank you #africa #travel #capecoastcastle #elminacastle #usa #slavery #travel #healing (at Cape Coast Castle, Central, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Rfb0nBhjU/?igshid=c9jqill0f35b
