Visit the African Names Database at slavevoyages.org. (Links to an external site.)
The object of this assignment is to provide a short description, with as much data as you can gather, about a particular person and/or ship involved in the slave trade.
Using this information, you can write a short description of the journey undertaken by the person, with some speculative background information about the person’s life, and some description of the ship used in the transport.
In your 400-word or more response, you should focus on one of those enslaved, and then amass as much information about that subject as you can using the resources of the database, as well as, if you like, outside research regarding the ports, nations involved in the trade relevant to your subject, and/or ethnicities and languages of the peoples involved.
