This fact always blows my mind… I suppose it shouldn’t, given the topic. But it does.

Of the 12.5 million African souls who were transported across the Atlantic to the Americas during the slave trade, only TWO first-hand accounts of that journey exist. Did you know this??

There are a few others that were narrated to white people who interpreted, authored, and published their stories. So really, it’s only TWO! Two of the 12.5 million souls.

These two books were powerful radical voices in the 18^th century, delivering the anti-slavery argument with a righteous rage missing from other abolition publications.
