Ghana has duty to preserve slave-trade sites and tell their full story – Vice President

Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang says Ghana has a responsibility to protect and “honestly interpret” its historic forts, castles and other sites linked to the transatlantic slave trade.

Opoku-Agyemang said Ghana is the custodian of some of the most significant surviving sites associated with the transatlantic slave trade.

Opoku-Agyemang said the preservation of these sites must therefore capture both the suffering caused by the slave trade and the resistance of African communities.
