TO ENTER THE ELMINA CASTLE one must first cross a narrow bridge over the moat that was dug around its perimeter for protection against attack, whether foreign or local. At one end of this gangway there is a marble plaque that reads: In Everlasting Memory of the anguish of our ancestors may those who died rest in peace. May those who return find their roots. May humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. We the living vow to uphold this.
