Slave Trail

The Slave Trail refers to pathways historically used to transport enslaved Africans from capture locations to ports where they were shipped to the Americas. These routes, often part of the broader transatlantic slave trade, involved journeys through difficult terrains and congested trade centers. Today, the term also symbolizes efforts to acknowledge, remember, and educate about this dark chapter in history, highlighting the resilience of enslaved peoples and the importance of confronting this legacy. These trails serve as historical sites or memorials that promote understanding and reflection on the profound human impact of slavery.
