Abubadika Sonny Carson Rare Interview - Samuel Carson Reinterment - Emancipation Day - Ghana

Abubadika Sonny Carson discusses the reinterment of the remains of Samuel Carson to Ghana, West Africa.

Abubadika discusses the U.S. government's interference in regard to the reinterment, and some of the history surrounding Samuel Carson. This short interview of Abubadika Sonny Carson was conducted shortly after we landed while still on the airplane prior to disembarkment in Ghana, West Africa.

Each year some Caribbean countries commemorate Emancipation Day - the day chattel slavery was formally abolished in Britain and it's colonies. The first Emancipation Day commemoration on the African continent took place in July - August 1998 in Ghana, West Africa. The footage here is an excerpt of some of the documentation regarding that historic event in 1998.

Kramanti and Abandze are twin fishing villages in Ghana that were important and historic trading centers of the Dutch and English.

On this day, the remains of two ancestors who were enslaved Africans, Crystal from Jamaica, West Indies and Samuel Carson from the United States of America, return through the infamous 'Door of No Return' at Cape Coast Castle in Cape Coast (Oguaa), Ghana. The Castle at Cape Coast was where many enslaved Africans were forcefully held before their journey on the Middle Passage. Crystal and Samuel Carson were also transported for the reinterment in the motherland.

Minnie' Phillips lead the delegation from Jamaica, West Indies to Ghana and the late Sonny Abubadika Carson lead the U.S. delegation accompanied by Professor James Smalls, Dhoruba al-Mujahid bin Wahad, Dr Leonard Jeffries, Dr. Roseland Jefferies and Nana Kimati Dinizulu to name a few. (less info)
