Video - The Dark Legacy: Transatlantic Slave Trade

Did you know that during the Transatlantic Slave Trade, millions of Africans were forcibly taken from their homes and sold into slavery in the Americas? Many slaves endured horrific conditions on the voyage, known as the Middle Passage, where they were packed tightly into ships and subjected to disease, malnutrition, and abuse. Some slaves even chose to jump overboard rather than endure the brutal treatment. The impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade can still be felt today, with lasting effects on African diaspora communities around the world. So next time you think about history, remember the dark legacy of this tragic chapter.
