None of my past relatives went through Ellis or Angel island, But my ancestors were from Ghana in West Africa. Unfortunately they were caught in the slave trade. They were put on a ship with very little space, bad conditions, and very little food. My mom says that the slaves that I descended from must have been super black people to survive all of that treatment. I'm quite grateful for them because if they would have died on the trip over here I would not be typing this right now and no one would know me. So that's the history of why I am here today.
