The Dark History Chapter 1

Narrated by Judge Anthony · 1:39

Dark History: Chapter 1. The Last Morning in Africa. Narrated by Judge Anthony. The Real Story Of A Tribe Of Slaves Who Committed Mass Suicide By Drowning Themselves Together In The Sea With One Mind The morning began like any other, but something in the air felt different. Along the waterways of southeastern West Africa, families went about their lives unaware that some among them would soon be torn away from everything they knew. Among the captives was a group of Igbo people—men, women, and children whose lives had been changed by violence and the slave trade. They had ambitions like everyone else. Some dreamed of raising families. Some wanted to become respected elders. Others simply wanted to live long enough to see another sunrise in freedom. But their dreams were about to collide with one of the darkest systems in human history. They were captured, chained, and forced toward the coast.
