“For over 500 years, countless men, women, and children were the victims of the tragic European transatlantic enslavement trade, one of the darkest chapters in human history. Also termed as the MAAFA or the great disaster that happened upon a people. This tragedy also took place in British Overseas Territories, such as Bermuda. On this tour you will hear the stories based on Britain’s Enslavement History in Bermuda and how this affected Africa and the world, along with the systemic distribution of wealth, power, and legacies built over the past 500 years from enslavement.
“It is our task, to know our past and honor it, to engage our present and improve it, and to imagine a good future and to forge it.
