Black people across the Americas have been demanding REPARATIONS for slavery and the Atlantic slave trade since the eighteenth century. Telling the history of slavery in museums is one way of repairing these past atrocities, which is why I wrote this book #slaveryarchive

My book Humans in Shackles telling how BAD SLAVERY WAS in the Americas, including in the United States is 46% OFF on Amazon. Not many people know this story, which is why we have to keep telling it in museums, books, and the classroom. #slaveryarchive
