Navio de Negros

"Navio de Negros" (Ship of Blacks) was a term used in a 19th-century Brazilian novel to describe a slave ship transporting enslaved Africans. It symbolizes the brutal and dehumanizing journey of Africans forcibly taken from their homeland and brought to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. The phrase highlights the inhumane treatment and the suffering endured during this cruel part of history. Today, it serves as a reminder of the injustices of slavery and the importance of remembering and addressing this painful legacy.
