An ancestral hoopla seems to be in the offing ahead of the Obamas visit to Ghana in August.

The country has a historical site and many Africans from the Diaspora visit it to see where their great-grand parents passed through to America.

For President Barack Obama, this might not give him any food for thought because he has long connected with his forebears in Kenya.
It is his wife, Michelle who would be given the opportunity to reflect on what her ancestors suffered on their long journey through this former slave post.

Will the Obamas weep at Cape Coast Castle during their visit? Others before them wept when they entered the enclaves of this former slave post, which was the final leg on the long journey to the new world.

Lets wait and see
