The community is invited to join a seminar by Samuel Acquaah, Head of Education Department of Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and Officer-in-Charge of Os/Christianborg Castle, and join in a discussion.
The event is Thursday between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Chant in Frederiksted.
Acquaah, an expert on Ghana’s forts and castles, confirms early evidence of the joint activities between Europeans and Africans.
Africans, and the people of Ghana in particular, have a responsibility to safeguard this shared heritage for posterity. Although 80 of these fortifications were built along the coast of West Africa, only 28 remain standing.
Join the St. Croix Archaeological Society, National Park Service, and CHANT for this special presentation with visiting scholar Samuel Acquaah to learn more about who built them and for what purpose.
