          The African Burial Ground

          The burial ground, which is one quarter of an acre, is
        believed to contain the remains of as many as 10,000 African
        slaves. The burial ground, discovered a decade ago, is
        recognized as one of the nation's most significant
        archaeological finds of the last century. Ghana was a key port
        in the notorious slave trade triangle.
