The Transatlantic Slave Trade

Overcoming the 500-year Legacy

About this book

The Transatlantic Slave Trade: Overcoming the 500-year Legacy is a contemporary testament, history and documentation to empower remembrance, education, reckoning, reparations, and reconciliation. History reveals that whenever the denial of the oneness of all humanity is permitted, people sink into vicious, violent and virulent acts of deprivation and dehumanization. Contemporary attempts to deny, ignore, justify or condone the legacy of the centuries-long genocide and the international economic consequences of the transatlantic slave trade have to be resolutely challenged and refuted. Comprising the research, reporting, and writings of the National Newspapers Publishers Association (NNPA) Senior National Correspondent, Stacy M. Brown with those of the renowned civil rights activist, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, The Transatlantic Slave Trade illuminates the multifaceted dimensions of this brutal phenomenon as a shared history. It is a mosaic woven from the threads of sorrow, resistance, complicity, and resilience.
