A Place of Memory and Reflection
One of the most powerful stops on our Africa 2027 journey will be Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. This fortress, once a center of the transatlantic slave trade, stands as both a memorial and a mirror — a reminder of how far we’ve come and how deeply our stories are connected. Walking through the dungeons and standing before the Door of No Return is an emotional experience that words can barely describe.
Walking Through the Door
Standing at that door, we’ll trace the steps of millions who were taken from their homeland. We’ll honor their memory in silence, reflection, and prayer. It’s not an easy part of the journey, but it’s one that brings understanding, strength, and unity. Every family member will feel that connection — not to tragedy alone, but to resilience and survival.
The Spirit of Ghana
Ghana is a nation filled with warmth and rhythm. The people, the music, and the markets tell stories of creativity and pride. From Accra’s Independence Square to the colorful Arts Centre, every corner offers life and joy. After Cape Coast, we’ll gather for a cultural dinner and group reflection, turning pain into purpose and remembrance into gratitude.
Why This Moment Matters
For many of us, this will be a homecoming — generations after our ancestors were taken. To return with family, to walk together, and to celebrate life is an act of healing. Cape Coast Castle will remind us that our story did not end in loss; it continues with strength, laughter, and love. Africa 2027 is more than a trip — it’s a circle closing, a bridge connecting the past to our future.
