Assin Manso and Cape Castle Tour

Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park - We will visit the Assin Manso Slave River site, where slaves had their last bath on African soil before being marched to the slave castles. They were fed and cleaned to appear attractive and healthy, ensuring higher prices. Hot branding irons were used to mark captives with identifying scars on the shoulder, breast, or upper arm to show ownership or that proper duty had been paid. It is now a sacred place of remembrance and home to the first two diasporas (Lady Crystal from Jamaica and Samuel Carson from New York) whose remains were brought to Ghana through the “door of return” and reburied. The remains of African slave descendants from Barbados are also buried here to symbolize emancipation and reconnection.
