Ghana Session with Sebastian Kwamena Tettey
Mr. Wronko’s students had a Ghana session with Sebastian Kwamena Tettey who gave a virtual tour of Cape Coast Slave Dungeon.

Just recently, Mr. Wronko’s students had a Ghana session with Sebastian Kwamena Tettey.
Sebastian Kwamena Tettey’s presentation
Mr. Tettey gave a virtual tour to my students of Cape Coast Slave Dungeon in Ghana.
During his presentation, Mr. Tettey informed my students about the Transatlantic Slave Trade and how many countries made a profit from this horrible institution of selling human beings into bondage.
Slave Dungeon
Through his virtual tour of Cape Coast Slave Dungeon, he explained how there was a dungeon for the men and separate dungeon for the women. He stated that the men and women were crammed together in which they had to endure the darkness with very little light, the insects, disease, and a very small amount of food and water.

Voyage to America
Mr. Tettey also went into detail that when these people were put into slavery, they had to endure the long voyage to the Americas.
On the boats that these individuals were put into had very little space, very little oxygen to breath, and became overwhelmed with the heat.
Sebastian Kwamena Tettey Encourages Students To Learn About Slavery
Sebastian Kwamena Tettey stated that it was very important that we learn about the horrible institution of slavery so we gain an understanding about how African Americans helped build the foundation of the United States and the atrocities they had to endure while doing this. With this understanding knowing how African Americans helped create the foundation for the United States, then people would come together to stomp out racism and discrimination.
Papa Williams and Ghana
At the end of Mr. Tettey’s presentation, Papa Williams joined the discussion afterwards.
Mr. Wronko and his students asked Mr. Tettey and Mr. Williams numerous questions regarding the presentation and other topics such as were there any people in Ghana who served in World War II, African American involvement in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and how every social studies curriculum should include how African Americans fought hard against slavery, how they helped create the foundation of the United States, and their success.
Mr. Wronko informed Sebastian Kwamena Tettey and Papa Williams that he created a project called A Better America.
Why A Better America was created
Mr. Wronko stated that A Better America project was created from the words of Barack Obama when the former president stated that John Lewis, a great civil rights leader who recently passed, would be the founding father for A Better America. From there, Mr. Wronko had his students research many great African Americans who helped shape the culture of the United States for the better.
