Obama Visits Old Slave Fort in Ghana


President Barack Obama, with family tour Cape Coast Castle, in Cape Coast, Ghana, on July 11, 2009. Obama and his family made a trip to a former slave trading fort in Ghana. The Obamas went on a guided tour of Cape Coast Castle, formerly one of the continent's main outposts from where countless slaves were shipped trans-Atlantic to the Americas. Obama, the son of an African immigrant, and his wife Michelle, a descendant of African slaves, were accompanied on the tour by their daughters Malia and Sasha.
