There are two sides to all stories but the story of African Slavery has only ever been told through the eyes of the slavers . That is like someone being kidnapped and only telling the story through the kidnappers eyes. Over the years I have collected so much personal testimony from people whose ancestors were slaves including my own. The history books and movies did not write any of these experiences and events down as the slaves were irrelevant and only the words of the slave owners were important and only the words of the slave owners were memorialised. So it is about time we viewed slavery from the perspective of the slaves – they deserve to have their experiences told and words heard
