Sierra Leone: Efforts to preserve slave trade history
Sierra Leone: Efforts to preserve slave trade history
A national organisation in Sierra Leone is looking to raise funds and awareness to preserve what was once the country’s biggest slave trade port.
The station on Bunce Island was set up 350 years ago to ship thousands of Africans to the Americas.
Al Jazeera’s Nina Devries reports from Bunce Island.

Arabs Enslaved "Black Africans ⚫️" in Africa 🌍 (East Africa) way before the European 🇪🇺 s…did in what is called "Sierra Leone 🇸🇱" today…. (Bunce Island). In Fact, it was the Arab Enslavers who gave the play ▶️ book 📖 of slavery to the White Man 👨🦳 on how to enslaved the black ⚫️ man ⚫️ 👨🏿….in Africa. Al-Jazeera must do a 2-hour Documentary on "Arabs who Enslaved Black ⚫️ Africans" for 1,600 years across those blazing hot 🔥 desert 🏜 sands off the East African Coast all the way to what they call 📞 "the gulf states" today… Or the So-Called "Middle East….. Also, recommend the 12 or so books 📚 written on the subject….. 😢😢😢😢
Well I just visited Bunch island Saturday. They have cleaned off bush and weeds
Good initiative.
get rid of it all
What is not spoken about is the slave trade existed through the active support and participation of African people. Slavery is a disgusting and vile trade, that said it had been common practice between various tribes within Africa before the continent was visited by Europeans. The European involvement in this trade took place over a short period of time before the British took action to prevent the vile trade in human life. It is a fact that the Royal Navy, in its fight to prevent the trade in slaves lost over 10,000 sailors.
It is also known that the trade in slaves still takes place within Africa yet Governments take no effective action to prevent it.
We must remember to preserve history. All history is important. That's why Isis went and destroyed the city of Palmyra one of the oldest in the world. Because there is no history but Islam there is no way but Islam. And Islam support slavery. Do not ever forget the Arab slave trade marching people from the Congo all the way across the Sahara to Baghdad. They called them Caravans. Thousands of people died every trip. Do not forget slavery it's your history Africa. Do not forget Arab slavery it's going on today in Libya you can buy a man for $200 in the market. Such is Islam. Slavery get used to it it's coming back
Forgive but never forget.
My family is Dominican & I did an ancestry DNA test. It urns our ancestors are from this area. We knew Taino blood was wiped out & if you look at my family we look black and mixed white/black. It’s so neat to start learning more about our African roots.
History is the memory of the future.
My family is from South Carolina, some of the African dialect was still spoken about 50 years ago, but not so much these days. I remember a few words spoken from my Grandmother.
Alcohol under the Context of the Atlantic Slave Trade
THEY TRADED US FOR 2 BOTTLES OF SCHNAPPS:
"Of the nearly 1.2 million captives shipped from this port town during 1710-1830 alone, 33% have been estimated as purchased through the importation of alcoholic drinks."
Millions not thousands.
I thought it was the remains of the Ford Sierra factory from the 1980's……..
Are they telling you how "Indians" was brought there from the americas and then sold off to elsewhere. Did they tell you that Sierra Leone was not called Sierra Leone in the beginning and how free black and brown Americans was sent there ? The same was done with Liberia. They are us and we are them. Been coming back and forth for thousands of years.
Very informative very interesting part of our history
We went into captivity because we rebelled against our God. The God of the israelites GOD Chosen peoples According the curses of Deuteronomy 28
This story is told in reverse at the very beginning of the video. About 1821, is when they shipped indigenous Copper-colored people TO Sierra Leonne FROM the Americas and Carribeans.
This is proof to prove wrong anyone who says African Americans are descendants of Native Americans.
i say let it deteriorate like slavery. we need to move on to the next reality. id say blow it up with all the evil there in that spot
enslave, sorry
