The castle is on the cape coast, and combined with the sound of ocean waves in the background -- a very cinematic setting.

Ping to the First Lady's List.

Must have been powerful.

Cape Coast is the name of the town. The castle is called Cape Coast Castle. I should know. I have been there.

I wish she would use her Africa trip to call public attention to ongoing slavery in Africa today.

See if you can guess who ran the African slave trade.

See if you can guess who is still running it today.

However, the US got only a very tiny fraction of that number of slaves.

I guess the rest went to Europe and other countries. That’s a lot.

This was where black Africans sold other black Africans into slavery?

Wonder if she learned that:

Blacks captured and enslaved other blacks.

Who then sold them muslim slave traders.

Who then moved them and sold them to other muslims for export to the muslim world?

Or

Who then moved them and sold them to Europeans for export to the new world?

She needs to go to Nigeria and talk to Christian families whose daughters have been taken as modern-day slaves by Muslim militants. Slavery is not dead in Africa anymore. And its not being perpetrated by the West.

America took 377,000 African slaves from 1620 until importation was illegal. At the time of the Civil War there were 4 million black slaves, a growth factor of 10x. Far from a genocide.

More white slaves were taken into Africa than into America during this period.

Notice that she didn’t have any issues with the stairs.

So the Lord used evil men to bring Africans to the United States, to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, creating a point of deviation for them and their descendants on this earth, and freeing them for all eternity to worship the Lord as His prized possession?

Heck of a deal. I love negro spirituals.
