In November 2022, our team travelled to Ghana to visit important slave trading forts, museum collections, and remembrance sites. This leg of our work explored the complicated and continuous links between Africa and the Americas as well as the deep-seated multi-ethnic nature of Ghana. It was completed with crucial collaboration from Samuel Acquaah, Professor Kofi Baku, and Assistant Professor Hermann von Hesse.
