              KUNTA KINTE African Holocaust Museum

Patrick Manning, the author of "The Slave Trade," estimates that about 12 million slaves entered the Atlantic trade between the 16th and 19th century, and about 1.5 million died on board ships , 4 million died in Africa. These estimates  do not include  slaves who died in the New World. 

 Chained naked in rows , or on shelves that ran along the inside of the ship's hulls   the  transatlantic journey of African   took  three - four months .

The U.S  was the last  country  to ban slavery  long after the transatlantic slave trade was outlawed in 1808.

 David Stannard estimates that some 30 to 60 million Africans died during slavery.

 When are we going to have the   African Holocaust Museum in Washington DC?
