Join Deran as she talks with Benjamin Lugu, a former high school student who was part of Deran’s Sankofa Project during her semester-long study abroad in Ghana, West Africa. Deran will also share her own experiences touring the historic forts and dungeons of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Door of No Return has become a symbolic acknowledgment of cultural disconnection for the ancestors who were treated as cargo while they were trafficked from Africa to the Americas.
Benjamin is a PhD student at The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, in the department of Educational Studies in Psychology, Research Methodology, and Counseling. He is majoring in Educational Statistics and Research Methods. Over the years, his research has been on the application of structural equation modeling for behavior analyses.
