Ghana Slave Dungeon...

Built by European traders in the 17th century, Ghana's Cape Coast Castle was the point of departure for the countless numbers of Africans who were sent to the New World as free labor for the colonies. Join Explore founder Charles Annenberg Weingarten on a virtual tour of the slave dungeon, and witness the horrific conditions the captives were forced to endure while waiting to be sent across the Atlantic.

I would be interested if it wasn't a "virtual" tour. It's no fun if I can't reach out and touch the horrors.

But to realise what actually went on there historically is important too.
