Africa - Beginning

In one of the most tragic events in human history, Africa and its coasts were heavily invaded by individuals from all across the world. Ships were filled with Africans of many different tribes and eventually sold as slaves.

Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade is believed to have forcibly displaced some 12.5 million between the 17th and 19th Centuries.

Plantation Life

Life on a Plantation was grueling and oppressive. African men, women, and children worked the fields from dawn to dusk under orders and supervision of White overseers.

The Greensboro Four

On February 1, 1960 four black students sat down at the segregated lunch counter at F.W. Woolworth Co. in Greensboro North Carolina.
