CAPE COAST, Ghana (Reuters) - After outlining his bright hopes for Africa's future, President Barack Obama got a glimpse on Saturday into one of the darkest chapters of its past -- the transatlantic slave trade.
Obama, America's first black president, took his family for a poignant tour of Cape Coast Castle, a seaside fortress used by slave traders starting in the 17th century and which is now a monument to millions of Africans cast into slavery.
