Outside, a guide explained the Elmina Castle’s dark history.
The building was originally erected as a trade outpost, but it was eventually converted into one of the busiest stops on the Atlantic slave trade.

Dutch forces seized the outpost in the 17th Century, though they continued the slave trade started by its Portuguese builders.
Others on the tour saw Steve and his family exploring the cramped spaces were slaves were confined before being shipped to other colonies in the Americas and around the world, according to TMZ.
