TRIGGER WARNING
The #MiddlePassage and #AtlanticSystem #slavery were so brutal that when, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1737, a slave ship arrived in #StKitts with 251 slaves, 100 of the men jumped overboard. The English crew tried to save their 'cargo' but 33 evaded 'rescue' and sank.

And yes, I have another book by a colleague to highlight: _Slavery at Sea: Terror, Sex, and Sickness in the Middle Passage_ by Sowande' Mustakeem won prizes from both the American Historical Association and the Dred Scott Heritage Foundation for its portrayal of the experience of #slavery during the #MiddlePassage, paying particular attention to bodily experiences of disease and gender in the confines of the slave ship.

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #MiddlePassage Hello everyone, particularly family members. One of my neighbors dropped by to show me a brochure that was developed to tell the story of a group that is memorializing all the places in the US where Africans and Caribbean people landed. If you want to learn more or support the project check out their website. For a $10 donation they'll send you a photo essay about their work. My neighbor's photos are included
