Having learned that it was a direct beneficiary of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the Church of England is setting up a fund that—when you strip away the veil of impact and responsible investing and beneficiary oversight—is essentially kept afloat by prolonged impoverishment of the descendants of the enslaved.

This colored Creole story offers a unique historical lens through which to understand the issues of migration, immigration, passing, identity, and color-forces that still shape American society today. We Are Who We Say We Are provides a detailed, nuanced account of shifting forms of racial identification within an extended familial network and constrained by law and social reality.

Need pointing at resources. Where can I find information about Punta da Lenha? The Constellation did some anti-slavery work there. I need background information. Or foreground information. Or really any information.

THANK YOU.

"There has been much debate over recent years about the effect of the Atlantic slave trade on Africa, with some authorities claiming that there were huge figures involved, and that these set back Africa's development for many years. Other historians reach lower estimates of the figures involved in the Atlantic trade, and hence argue that the effects on the political economy of Africa were more limited. Had widespread slavery existed long before the growth of the European slave trade ? How important was the trans-Saharan traffic ?

#confession. I'm nervous about how my new #historicalfiction #ChildrensBook #BlackbeardsTreasure out in Jan. It is set in the #Caribbean in #18thCentury - just when the #TransatlanticSlaveTrade was getting more gruesome. It was a tightrope to not #whitewash #history, by giving characters unrealistic #progressive values, while still making my protagonist, Abigail, sympathetic. I worry I can upset people either way, for not representing the truth or for doing precisely that. Eeek.

I just watched the first few epis of the recent #educational series “Black American History” by Clint Smith that I highly recommend.

It’s #animated but the content is for older children and adults. It does an excellent job of relaying complex themes in a clear way. I’ve learned new things about the #transatlanticslavetrade that I never knew before.

One of the best things about it is that every episode is 15 minutes or less. Please check this out! #blackhistory
