Monday Open Thread | International Slavery Museum Liverpool

international-slavery-museum-liverpoolThe transatlantic slave trade was the greatest forced migration in history. And yet the story of the mass enslavement of Africans by Europeans is one of resilience and survival against all the odds, and is a testament to the unquenchable nature of the human spirit.

In 1994, National Museums Liverpool opened the Transatlantic Slavery Gallery, the first of its kind in the world. This gallery has achieved huge visitor numbers and impact, but there is now a pressing need to tell a bigger story because of its relevance to contemporary issues that face us all.

Our vision is to create a major new International Slavery Museum to promote the understanding of transatlantic slavery and its enduring impact.

Our aim is to address ignorance and misunderstanding by looking at the deep and permanent impact of slavery and the slave trade on Africa, South America, the USA, the Caribbean and Western Europe. Thus we will increase our understanding of the world around us.”

Dr David Fleming OBE, director, National Museums Liverpool

    I was so sad to hear about GoBrooklyn. She has such spirit. Such fight. RIP, Warrior Princess.

  2. Go Brooklyn had a kind spirit & often times she was comical even though she was fighting a hard battle. Please donate to help her family with the funeral if you can. If you’re unable to give pass this link along so others may get a chance to give. Pray for her family.
