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.
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.

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.

To commemorate the abolition of slavery. The slave trade itself was outlawed in 1807 but slaves were still held until the 1830's in parts of the empire. This was erected to mark the final closure of that awful practise by the UK. Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster, Fish eye shot.

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.

How apropos to visit the The National Memorial for Peace and Justice at the same time the US Senate is considering impeachment against a president, whose supporters that ransacked congress reflect the very causes raised on this hallowed spot in Montgomery. The center of the site is constructed of over 800 corten steel monuments, one for each county in the United States where thousands of racial terror lynchings took place SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. The names of the lynching victims are engraved on the columns. It is both sobering and horrifying. Similar to the effect of the Holocaust museum, people should see this to help our country remember, reconcile and to heal - it obviously still needs it.
