My great grandmother was on that ship. Her name was Matilda McCrear. My name is Barbara McCrear Holland.

It's sad what is happening to Africatown to this day, surrounded by industrial pollution and high cancer rates. Those same forces operating today are the same that pollute and cover up and silence Hawaiian dissent, apartheid of Israel, Flint Michigan chemical spill.

@Mrshaun371974 • what do you mean by that ?

[@unique_properties184]

I'm from Nigeria, and one thing I learnt from this video is that: if the white didn't end the trade,our ancestors will keep selling themselves.

You don't know nothing if you think that's what was happening

[@David-bc4rh]

There was slavery in nearly every civilization, in every region on the planet, for a very very long period of human history.
