Description

Essentially, what we were thinking is to suspend a globe and have inscriptions of slave ships going to and from in the Transatlantic Slave Trade written in the margins of the sea. Even though there are no "official" records of the names of enslaved individuals, the next best thing is the name of the ships they were transported on. It will also showcase the amount of the ships that contributed and also the amount of enslaved Africans that were on each ship, if possible.
