Anderson Cooper

Anderson Cooper we in Cape Coast to cover Obama's arrival. Unise, one of the guys on our trip, had been talking with this Ghanian outside the Cape Coast Castle a few nights back, and yesterday morning while Unise and I were out around town, this same fellow he had been speaking to ran into us and said that the assistant manager of Anderson Cooper was looking to interview American students that are studying in Ghana. After and few phone calls later and getting our group of 12 ready to leave, we were off to meet Anderson Cooper.

He was at a restaurant/resort called One Africa which is located in Elmina. It is owned by a once Bronx, New Yorker woman who has since retired to Elmina, Ghana with her husband and runs the business. When we arrived Cooper was interviewing this woman and I took great snap shots of their conversation. The cameras were rolling and we had to be very quiet. Once he was done with that interview, he came over and introduced himself to us. Of course, everyone knows who he is. He was very nice and went around to all of us, asking what our name was and what we were studying. We then had a small powwow type interview done by the woman who owns One Africa, and that was filmed. Then, they asked the African American students of out group to gather so that Cooper could interview them separately. So, the rest of us weren't interviewed by Cooper, but we may all perhaps be on CNN. Lol. You can check it out. We've been told that it is tentitively going to be aired during an hour long special on CNN on Friday July 17th at 10PM Eastern Time.
