Hundreds of years ago, illustrious Sons and Daughters of the continent were forcibly taken away from all over the western coast of Africa from places like the Gold Coast, the Bight of Benin the Calabar Atlantic Coast to faraway places in the Caribbean, the Americas and Spainish diaspora. Today through the amazing advancement of DNA technology not only is it possible for the descendants of these people to be able to retrace their ancestral roots to specific countries in most cases they are even able to trace their lineage to ethnic groups and possibly living relatives today in the continent. Time may have separated today’s African descendants by over 500 years but there is nothing like home as can be testified to by the joy found and the spiritual connection attested to by some of G.A.G’ successfully reintegrated citizens.
