These 9 memorials trace the global impact of slavery More than 12 million Africans were forced from their homes and sold into slavery. These destinations tell their stories. ByNneka Okona Email Last year’s push to make the Black Lives Matter movement mainstream challenged travelers to seek perspectives left out of their guidebooks. This aspect of the movement added momentum to an ongoing conversation about the origins and interpretations of historic landmarks, venerated memorials, and key sites in the United States, especially those of the colonial and Civil War eras. Some 400 years ago, enslaved Africans first arrived in colonial Virginia. But the impact of slavery reached far beyond the original colonies. The transatlantic slave trade, active between 1525 and 1866, forcibly removed 12.5 million people, mainly from Central and West Africa, and redistributed them across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean. To commemorate this tragedy and ensure the world takes steps toward reconciliation, UNESCO launched the Slave Route Project in 1994 to document the dozens of sites essential to the history of slavery.
