My 4th great grandmother was brought here from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Getting to hear some of the voices is riveting

these archives shouldn't be in the hands of the government. they should be stored in museums for all to see.

So many years ago and yet there’s still grandparents from that time walking around missing those times and trying to bring it back…genuinely what the hell.
