Slavery
View allAll Photos Tagged Slavery
Slavery was one the regrettable parts of American history during much of the 18th and 19th centuries until formally abolished by the 13th Amendment in December of 1865. During this period of slavery, rice, cotton, and sugar plantations worked by slaves were abundant, especially in the south.
Today many of the original plantations and buildings are gone with a remaining few converted to museums. Of the ones preserved, Oak Alley in Vacherie, Louisiana is undoubtedly one of the most scenic. Its distinguishing feature is a double row of 300-year-old oak trees running 800ft (240m) long towards the main house.
This plantation has also been featured in many shows and movies throughout the years, most famously “Interview with the Vampire” from 1994 starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
I captured this picture on a nice foggy morning when the sun was piercing through the fog and trees.
This anti-slavery monument facing the Gambia river is situated in Albreda / Juffureh, a village, that is connected to Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African, captured as an adolescent and sold into slavery in the United States.
The novel "Roots" follows his life and the lives of his descendants in the U.S. down to the author Alex Haley. The novel was followed by a hugely popular television adaptation.

Subject choice is good but the production value of the execution and overall image quality is not high enough to be competitive. This may relate to various elements, including setting, background detail, styling details, model choice, quality of light, retouching, general attention to detail.
If classical antiquity had overcome slavery; if curiosity had not been fused with conquest and colonisation; if the Declaration of Human Rights of 1789 had contained a paragraph on the abolition of the slave trade; if the Enlightenment and its successor civilisations had kept wisdom; if barbarism had not been the hallmark of the 20th century; if superstition had not returned via the social media; if we all had let go our crazy search for certainty. If.

THOMAS JEFFERSON ENSLAVED 600+ AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
Thomas Jefferson helped to create a new nation based on individual freedom and self-government. His words in the Declaration of Independence expressed the aspirations of the new nation. But the Declaration did not extend “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” to African Americans, indentured servants, or women. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration and called slavery an “abominable crime,” yet he was a lifelong slaveholder.
King Philipp of Macedonia advising his son Alexander (later, the Great) to trust his teacher, the philosopher Aristotle. Aristotle taught that slavery was natural and that human beings came in two varieties: one group able to run their lives independently, the other group in need of help. These others were born slaves and, for their own benefit, were to be led by the free.

Seen in the Slavery Museum which is part of the Maritime Museum, Albert Dock, Liverpool. The sculpture (2017) is made from various materials, including rum barrel hoops and the artist is Francois Piquet from Guadeloupe. I do not think that this sculpture needs much explaining. Fuji X100F.

“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”

Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. -- Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. 1817 was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. He became the most important leader of the movement for African-American civil rights in the 19th century.
After escaping from slavery in Maryland in 1838, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, during which he gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings.

It was a colony in the South that first abolished slavery, not the North. From 1735 to 1750, the brand new colony of Georgia abolished black slavery. It was the only British colony to do so by decades, preceding Vermont's ban of 1777. But South Carolina's planter class to Georgia's north showed new Georgians a tried and proven method not only of how to tame Southern land but also how to get rich, despite such lofty aspirations of equality for all in the new colony of Georgia.
Wormsloe Historic Site (its entrance road pictured above), with its large plantation-sized plot of land, went against Georgia's colonial charter and its vision for its citizens. Nonetheless, the Wormsloe plot was granted permission to be this big as it was zoned not to be a family farm but as a military fort in Britain's efforts against Spanish Florida. The owner of the fort plot, former British carpenter Noble Jones, became a military and community leader in the new colony of Georgia. When Georgia's ban against slavery was repealed, Jones and his posterity developed the land to become a plantation with slaves.
In an alternative imagining of the 19th century slave trade, the white man is the slave of the black slave trader.

Story behind this shoot:
I did the colour versions of this shoot a few years ago. They went viral and were widely acclaimed as impactful and thought provoking after being picked up by a famous Black American influencer on Instagram. The series of 6 of these shots had before this been accepted for a UK Nationwide touring exhibition - to be pulled at the last minute by those in charge as it was considered it may be too "distressing for school children" to see these (even though it was a normal exhibition for all the public who would mainly be adults anyway).
Seeing the usual images of black people suffering in chains in the schoolbooks is apparently okay, but it is not good for kids to see things differently, or to perish the thought to make the next generation actually have to THINK and be impacted ... and if they are distressed for a little while by the reality then so be it, as that's how change happens by hearts and minds being impacted as slavery and racism and inequality based on race is distressing. Whatever the race of the perpetrator and victim.
I - and my two awesome models here PJ Walker and Horace Silver - am proud that these images are considered powerful enough to impact young minds. And maybe a few old ones.
This is not a barn that has a cotton gin. For all practical purposes, the entire building is a cotton gin.
This may appear to be the kind of shot that any tourist would take. It was however the scene of unspeakable cruelty and one of the places where slaves were incarcerated prior to transportation around the world. Over a period of 300 years tens of millions of Africans passed through locations such as this. Africans in collusion with Europeans plied the population with rum and when their victims were incapacitated they were taken as families to the underground dungeons here. In the same way that we should not forget 9/11 we should not forget those who suffered in those times. Nor should we forget the millions who live in slavery today - child workers held in sweat shops, women trapped into the sex industry and those controlled by people-traffickers.

Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was born in Massachusetts to a large family. She attended Quaker schools and began teaching at age 15. In 1845 her family moved to New York and her father began working for the abolitionist cause. Guests at the family farm included Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, who influenced Anthony’s strong anti-slavery views.
In 1851, when Anthony’s temperance work was met with open male hostility, she decided women must win the right to speak in public and vote in order to further any of their causes. That same year she began a lifelong friendship with Elizabeth Cady Stanton. From 1852 until the end of the Civil War, Anthony campaigned for the abolition of slavery, and for the right to vote for women and black Americans.
After the civil war, Anthony’s former male allies dismissed her passion for woman's suffrage, warning her the time was not right. Undeterred, Anthony went on to organize the National Woman Suffrage Association with Stanton.
In 1872 Anthony and fifteen colleagues became the first women ever to vote in a presidential election. They were promptly arrested, and in 1873, despite carefully prepared arguments and energetic campaigning, Anthony lost her case. Because her sentence was not enforced, she was barred from appealing to the Supreme Court.
Anthony spent the rest of her life working for the Federal suffrage amendment. She attended her last convention at age 86, closing her last speech with the admonition, "Failure is impossible." She passed away later that year. Fourteen years later the 19th amendment to the Constitution granted American women the right to vote.
Land gifted to son Isaac Hite Jr. shortly after the American Revolution. The manor house was built in 1797 and eventually became the center of a 7500 acre grain plantation.

The federal government in Germany wants to enforce a 'super shutdown' for several weeks, possibly until Easter:
All-day curfew:
That means citizens would no longer be allowed outside their homes, even during the day.
This would make travel and day-trip excursions impossible.
Mandatory home office:
Individual federal states should push for this - insofar as there is really no other way.
Schools and daycare centers:
These would remain closed nationwide under the shutdown variant.
Complete shutdown of transport in Germany:
Local and long-distance public transport could be completely shut down. This would mean that no buses, suburban trains, subways or trains would run and no planes would fly. According to participants in a CDU presidium meeting, however, Merkel rejected a possible suspension of local and long-distance public transport.
FFP2 mask obligation*:
What will be implemented in Bavaria from January 18 could apply throughout Germany.

I clicked this picture some times ago in a rail station of north Kolkata. The local train was standing in a platform. Two men were talking to each other in the train. Here a pigeon flying high in front of me. This picture told a story, the flying bird symbolize freedom and the two men inside the train symbolize slavery.
