In honor of Black History Month which begins on February 1st, I wanted to share some of the photographs I took during my visit to Cape Coast in Ghana. I was able to spend some time in a slave castle there that is now a historical site. It was a humbling and horrifying experience, but to stand on those grounds as a free black man was inspiring as well. I will never forget my enslaved ancestors and will not allow America to forget them either. We are because they were.

Thank you for sharing these powerful photos for those who cannot experience being there.
I'm a hardcore Baha'i blogger, a Harvard Divinity School grad, a behavioral health social worker, a Phd. candidate, a husband, and more recently a dad. Enough about me. Read my stuff and you'll figure me out. God is the Most Glorious!
