Our discoveries of world cultures and black history right here at home then connecting to the motherland, will help youth and families learn together. Our journey is a combination of volunteerism, adventure and history.

You can also customize our journeys for your organization or school. Please contact Crystal Dyer at 773.417.8808 for details. We offer budget, moderate and luxury tour options.

The tours include a visit to the castles where our ancestors were held as prisoners of war and shipped throughout the Americas and world as chattel for centuries of brutal slavery. Ghana was a major hub for the human trafficking of Africans who were enslaved.
