Cape Coast Castle

Cape Coast Castle, a historic fortification in Ghana, served as a significant holding point for enslaved Africans before their forced transportation across the Atlantic. Recently, the castle gained renewed attention as Archbishop Sarah Mullally of Canterbury visited the site. During her visit, she expressed lament for the Church of England's historical involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. Archbishop Mullally reaffirmed the church's commitment to a £100 million fund aimed at supporting communities impacted by enslavement. This visit and the accompanying pledge highlight the castle's ongoing relevance as a place of remembrance, a symbol of historical injustices, and a focal point for contemporary efforts towards healing and reconciliation concerning the legacy of slavery.
