The
waves of the great Atlantic Ocean continuously slap a portion of the banks of
the great ocean spanning the Ussher Fort and beyond in Accra. The age-old forward and recessive
motion of the waves was witnessed by the mostly Hausa and Yoruba slaves shipped
to the Americas, especially Brazil, to provide the much needed labour for new
industries springing up in the colonial period. They were pawns in the
interesting and disturbing history of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade which we
read and appreciate today.
