The Door of no Return - Ghana's Slave Forts

Most of the slaves that went to Europe and then to the New World came from Ghana. European powers fought over control of these forts for 400 years. Of course, we all learned about this in school. Being here in the flesh, however, is truly blood curdling.



The door of no return. The door is shut, the ladders are pulled, and there is no escape except for death.
