Why aren’t Ghanians taught their history of trading and selling humans into slavery? This is much like how the United States is trying to erase American history and slavery. Ghanians were active in the trade of human life for years.
Even today in the Ghana news a woman ranted on about the “whites” and slavery, she blamed slavey on them but ignored her own history. Ghanians happily sold Africans for various items and slavery in Africa existed before it did any place else.
History shows that Ghanians traded human beings and sold slaves, yet they are claiming in 2023 that they were enslaved. Where is the history curriculum for Ghanian learners, I’ve asked for a copy of it from the minister of education.
I’ve located their online curriculum, however I can not locate history at all, unless it is pushed into something that they call another subject.
