  • These are "A Journalist's Expressions". Art travels to the Cape Coast of Ghana to visit the Castle where the US/Caribbean slave trade began. No fun and games here. It's a serious topic!

    Art just watching you in between those solid no life walls in midnight darkness only for a few seconds; affected my heartbeat. I began to feel a panic attack overcome my mindset. Our people have suffered in humanely seemingly forever; even now. I had a similar experience when I was in college. My professor planned a trip to New Orleans most noted slave master’s mansions and plantations. In back of each mansion were the slave cabins😥. When I stepped inside one, I immediately felt the strong presence of the many hearts who once resides between those stone walls with dirt floors, no toilets, no kitchen, no bedrooms, no lights. Uncontrollable tears drenched my clothing. Peace and Blessings😇🙏🏽🤗

    You brought it home to us and now it is up to us. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. My husband and I definitely plan to go.
    The video was beautifully done and your words inspired us.
    Please please please go visit The Legacy Museum in Montgomery Alabama. You will be glad you did. You will be able to get tickets for The Peace and Justice Museum there and a shuttle will take you there and back. You can’t film anything at The Legacy Museum but you can at The Peace and Justice. Man I tell you it will change your life. We took two days to do The Legacy because you can’t rush it. You will get emotional so be ready.

    Hi Art,
    I don’t make many comments on CZcams but this video moved my spirit, especially when you were in the holding cell. I love our ancestors and have not forgotten them; we will be restored and renewed with God’s blessing. Thank you for all that you’re doing brother Art, you are making a difference.

    Thank you Art for this experience, This is so enlighten and such a need to know place. I'm a 64 year old grown ass man and this is heart breaking. My heart go out to our people for what they had to go though back then. Our people got the nerve now to complain about what we are going though now which don't compare no where near what our people went though. The waves clashing against the rock there to me simulate the tears of our people crying out. I pray that the spirit of God be with those that never made it out from behind those doors. God Bless you Art for all the videos that you brought back with you to share with us. GOD BLESS YOU AND COUNTRY STYLE.

      @Buds of Spring Thank you for your response Buds of Spring. I'm sorry you took it that way but that's not what I'm saying here. I know that our people are still suffering today, But what I'm saying is that we have more rights and freedom now than our ancestors did back then. I'm not blaming our people for what the villains did back then. What I'm saying is some of our people keeping talking about who's holding us down instead of just getting up and stand on our feet as the people that we are. We are strong people that can do anything we put our mind to do. Look how far we've come over the years. We've went from our people running the country to serving in very high places. Again I would never put our people down for anyone or anything. NEVER!! And God Bless you for your comment.

    My greatest of grandma came through those same gates as a child and was sold in Virginia to a Scot man with the last name hair. This was between the late 1600 and the mid 1700's. She is the one who started our family 🌲. My great grand father is as black as they come. My folks are more black and brown, with some light brown and red Indian. No white allowed. I would love to see the mother Land just once.
