At Pikoro Slave Camp, captured men and women were tied to trees, for weeks, sometimes months, before they were sold at a slave market and marched to the coast. An estimated 500,000 captured Africans passed through the slave camp near Ghana’s border with Burkina Faso between 1704 and 1805. Photo: Lynette Wilson/Episcopal News Service
