O.K. More pictures as promised. There are so many to share! This was taken in Accra Ghana on the eve of the Art Fair that we attended. Performances were held and this is a re-enactment entitled : Let My People Go: A Reverential memorial night with a psycho drama staged in rememberance of slaves who were held in bondage.
On our flight there were remains flown back to the Mother Land. In the casket above were the actual remains of 2 slave ancestors which was the highlight of a ceremony entitled : The Martyrs Day Ceremony on July 31, 1998. This is also part of what is known as The Emancipation Celebration. Emancipation: Our Heritage, Our Strength
Africa.... Here's a photo from the Emancipation Celebration taken at The W.E.B. Dubois Center. The Meaning of the Emancipation Celebration in Ghana is celebrated to commemorate the abolition of chattel slavery which lasted for over 500 years. It is also celebrated to liberate Africans and descendants of the mental torture, agony and pain of the slave trade on the continent.
This is Odeefuo and I at the radio station in the metropolis of Accra Ghana, where we would broadcast daily with a live feed back to St. Louis, giving information about the Celebration. Our engineers are brilliant !!The metropolis of Accra is beautiful. On Wednesdays, Odeefuo hosts a special program for the sick. They're prayed for, and well wishers dedicate music to them. Odeefuo is known as The Peoples Prophet.
This was a day filled with excitement while we enjoyed dance festivities by native dancers at the State House grounds where we attended an Afro Carribean festival filled with music, food and fashion. For sanitary reasons, we could't eat food at the festivity and it really smelled good. We were allowed to participate in other festivities at the state grounds.
There were so many people who showed much love at the art fair. We enjoyed shopping and setting aside time to take a quick flick with friends above from the Coast of Ghana. I love to shop and there were so many things that I purchased that are so much cheaper there than they are here. Wood carvings especially.
Here's the crew from St. Louis who traveled with me to Ghana! After broadcasting in the morning everyday from the Radio station in Accra, I would join the group for daily activities. Here we paused to take a picture. Were you here With Me? If you were I'd like to hear from you!! Send me an email.
Look for more pictures to come soon from Slave Castles in Ghana that we visited.
OK Back in the day... One Of My Favorites!! The Late Great Barry White
One morning I looked up and Barry White Pops up!!
