Today I returned to the Central Region with our students. This time, shortly before Cape Coast, we turned off the main road to visit Assin Manso and the river where African captives were taken for their 'last bath' before they were imprisoned in the dungeons of Cape Coast or Elmina Castle before being loaded onto ships for the Americas. We were told about the last bath when we visited both castles last weekend. The 'park' also celebrates and commemorates those who fought against the slave trade, colonialism and racism and discrimination.
