two hundred years

slavery
a slide show
boom boom pictures up there

greeks
gladiators
galleys

road to timbuktu
woman with grinding stone
blacksmith craftsman sits on the sand
relative calm before the maelstrom

gold coast stone cannoned fort
fort fort christiansborg elmina
fresh captives neck and foot
chained branded neck rings
leg irons masks collars spurs

oil painting handsome
liverpool ship under sail
loading diagram spoon fashion
slaves on wildfire deck
girl hanging from foot
sick thrown overboard
to avoid import tax
arise sir john hawkins

posters slave stores
auctions inspecting the goods
separating families

plantations big houses
wooden shacks
cotton gins 'n sugar
rum punches whipped
scarred back five generations
solemn faced posed photograph
distilled fermented pulped
held out to dry smokey fire

black nursemaid white children
college servant with broom
starched maid amuses starched girl
mulatto clothing styles separate
male female brazil havana peru

tubman ferry house fugitive slaves
run away jack advert
underground railway map
site 1 site 2 slave picture
bundled belongings on back

abolition opposition
commemorative plaque
coin mug medal lincolned
freed slave couple
emancipated workworn hands

bill passed houses built
dynasties founded honours
allocated bristol liverpool
britain united states

more modern photos sex
people traffic new enslaved
child sex abused carpets
bricks footballs trainers
shirts fair trade markets
new bonded labour
profit money
honours for sale
legacy dead in the water
