Vice President Kamala Harris emerged from the female slave dungeon at Cape Coast Castle visibly shaken. “The horror of what happened here must always be remembered. It cannot be denied. It must be taught; history must be learned,” she said.
Vice President Kamala Harris emerged from the female slave dungeon at Cape Coast Castle visibly shaken. Inside the famous slave trading outpost’s dungeon, Harris set a bouquet of flowers down and placed her hand on the centuries-old wall, connecting herself physically to the sorrow of the Africans it once imprisoned. It was a rare show of emotion for the typically stoic barrier-breaking leader, often reticent to talk about her own plight as a Black woman in America.
Harris repeated that belief on Tuesday as Black history studies have come under fire in conservative circles in America, a move critics have called whitewashing history to distort the reality of slavery and its impact on America. Throughout the tour, Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff frequently shook their heads in dismay at the inhumane way slaves were treated in the very place they walked.
