really a blessing because you really don't have the opportunity to to go to a country and be able to go because africa is such a huge continent and you know and you don't even realize how big just going to one part of it you news so somebody told me that you could put you could put europe america and i don't know if they said charter net you know but it's but if you're you can put it through four major countries inside our land yeah and he was teaching this that africa was shrunk when i put on a map to make black people feel small and the boy was in the classroom trying to tell the teacher that he didn't want to hear and even the students calculations were here but you know we have now started to wake up in store looking at the fact that we are who america is in and we need to to own it you know we couldn't own our stuff because we were owned by other people and all of the stuff there we contributed to america was compensated by or picked up by of people and they took the credit for last saw thing on you tube the day and the teacher was doing this hank sick thing with the kids and then they had this white teacher doing the same thing and people say well you know it doesn't matter it doesn't matter you know when people copy that is the best form of flattery but flattery is one thing but to own it as a whole different thing so we don't mind people you know copying a zero we want to get the credit for what we've done and that's what we've never been able to do is get credit so do you have some more some more pictures of your of your tour yes i do you know it's amazing you don't think you photographer but when you go someplace and you see so many amazing things and taken way more pictures and you think and and because this was the first time that i went i wanted to make sure i could run which is something that happened to our ancestors we had to walk miles hundreds of miles to get to here before we even went to to the coast to be shipped to america and there's this gentleman you see he has on a shirt i was so happy to see him he is black last mare you know even in africa because that's were their whole orden started but what he one of the things that was really interesting to me is that he said don't ever i think this is where he was telling that to don't ever tell people that you're a flea he said because you want to slave your cat were captured by somebody you don't come here because us what would you want to do he said slaves in africa or whole different thing you know because when he came to america to be a slave you never ever became anything else you were just a slave and you never had the opportunity to move into something else where in africa you do you know but he said don't tell people your story you're a captive and so we got there and so we go to these these doors and it takes you two to the they show you they had all these these graphics about how you were chained and and and what the one thing that i can tell you want when you go to have to measure you you your stamina because for one thing it's very hot and you have to drink lots of water in gold to be sent off to a land that you don't even know anything about and so we had opportunity to be able to do that which was really a blessing to be able see who are our ancestors you know were taken in these water ok this is kind of we went through the countryside like i say we went to four different regions and you saw all kinds of houses and different things that you know one of th that we saw a lot of houses there were half built and not really completed so i was asking my guide us there was that is because in africa getting a loan was not something that was you know it was very expensive to get a loan so what people would do is that they built part of the house and then they would get more money and they'd build another part of the house so you would see houses and stuff and different  which was really really really nice to be able to do there her and her husband they were welcomed by by this king and he was given they were actually given this land they only had to pay like four hundred dollars for like us like three or four three or four acre on this property she was she said when she got there was like only three cheese and now they have this resort where they have different huts and and like little shell lays that people can  and stay in and it's right on atlantic ocean and the one thing that that was really really nice to be able to do is to be in this place and feel so free that you didn't have to you didn't have to worry about somebody coming and the police come in until the new or you got a lead you you know you make it too much noise and that was a real comforting feeling to be able to be someplace and feel like you were home because  to be able to to visit actually we visited two different slaves dungeons one on one side and another on the other side but they basically were run  slave name father same name as johnson and the johnsons and the vanda pools and and johansen's and stuff they actually come from that so without us knowing we actually were now that was really amazing is that all of that all of the dungeons that our ancestors came through above above the dungeons were churches and they would have their church  f the time and then all the time they had our people at the bottom waiting to be shipped off to america or wherever because everybody going up in america most people day so it was it was really kind of disheartening to know that people were worshipping god and at the same time enslaving people you know so there was one wrong that was really really very hard to go through of the people who who were not you know conforming and they would stuff them into this room and when you went into their room it was really so heartening because you could see the scratches on the walls and in order for i mean these are brick walls so in order for people's scratches from four hundred years ago to still be there you had to have you know dug right down to your bone you know so that was really very very discouraging to see that kind of stuff because they would put these people into the i mean pack i'm in there like four five hundred people in very small rooms so these were the people that they were going to take w people who who were what they called unruly or the people who were resistant so you know our people have always had i mean a in slavery and times as we came through through slavery and they acted like we were so happy to be there and although nobody was happy to be in in those instances so what they said is that the people who actually made it to america were the strong ones so they knew that they could you know do the work and and that's always been fascinating to me too that in america they always they've always called us lazy so how could we be so lazy if we did all this work all this time you know i guess we didn't get really lazy until we decided we're not going to  anymore but the one thing about going back to africa and i heard all of us to do is that you see us you see why we do things that we do the colors that we wear i mean it was it was so evident you know people will it with a really bright colored clothing on i mean men and women we had one of our guides his name was righteous and he was from nigeria right on a different color for outfit every single day i mean from the shoes to the pants to the top and he was he was there every day so it was just really nice to be able to see us in africa you know and to be able to be able to touch those people and understand who we really are and we think we have a drive for for for getting a hit nothing like in africa i mean it was like overwhelming to to a degree because we or they looked at us as like the money you know because we come over and we bring money to support the community and stuff and they have all these different we went to the international market in in in this in the national market they have this rolls and rolls of  of different items that you can buy that people have made i mean the carvings are bought are bought master would a cost hundreds of dollars that you pay like twenty dollars for because twenty dollars there is eighty dollars because our money is four times the money there so but you went and we went to the wood carving places were they brought in the wooden and they transform it from just a piece of wood to magnificent art houses or like this in some places because the villages are pretty sparse but is different everywhere you would you just saw all kinds of different  jungles to get to it and you see this fault right on the other side you can even see but right on the left hand side of the fall there are bats that are all the way up the side of the  falls but it just looks like a big black line when you when you get far away but when you get close closer you can see all the way up the side of that fall and you can see how beautiful it  it was breathtaking so many places and they don't tell you about these places still so the big belly babies  starving in the me you know because of the one thing you talk about free range chickens i mean we went to a gas station in behind a gas station it was chickens running everywhere now this is  e this this is called chances in this was a chief and we stated this district this is a shopping mall that he had it was three stories the shopping mall but he didn't open it because he fter you would think that people use solar even more he said but no he said you don't get to the energy that you actually shoot in like you do from electricity but this shopping mall  here that is everywhere i mean because when you ride through the mountains and that you see in like i say you can buy everything that you want in africa on the streets because they don't have the shopping malls like we have here everything is done by barter you know when you go into the international market if you so i don't have any money so i take your shoes i take your shoes we can trade for that you know they trade for everything this is part of our mr chances re sort to this is africa this is africa there we stated this is that you would never think that you have the money to go stay in this is where we start this is it takes three years three gates to get into his there one of the houses were was one but not only reason why he was able to get in there because he was married to africa but these are the kinds of things that you see you know that you never thought you'd be able to see but because they only show us the things that they want us to see who is very you know what america you know what america shows us the things that they think we got to see and tell you right now in order for you to really understand what africa is about you have to go you know very economical because it was like thirty five hundred dollars and that included your plane trip your hotel two meals a day in all your travel all across these four because it might be harder to get them as time goes by and it's like a hundred one hundred dollars for your passport being you have to get a visa and that's that's one hundred dollars and what you do to washington and then they send it back and they they give you either used to be longer but now our password is good for two years used to be up to five years but they've shortened but america is in charge of how long in fact are to go here he's from ghana and he's applied three different times one hundred fifty dollars each time and they've denied him every single time and so america has very good controls over who comes in wow you're very blessed we don't know you know the  david greene for a t v viewing audience don't forget to look us up on you tube this show will be on you too and we want to thank you for watching it continue to have a good
