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.
SÜDAFRIKA, unterwegs in Kapstdt , Bo Kaap, Dorp Straße mit bunten Häusern .
Bo-Kaap (Afrikaans; deutsch etwa: „Über dem Kap“), auch Malay Quarter („Malaienviertel“) oder Slamsebuurt[ („Islamviertel“), hieß bis 2017 Schotschekloof und ist ein Stadtteil von Kapstadt in der südafrikanischen Provinz Westkap. Er entstand als Siedlung von Kapmalaien, die bis heute die Mehrheit der Bewohner stellen.
Bo-Kaap wurde im 18. Jahrhundert von Kapmalaien besiedelt, nachdem sie aus der Sklaverei entlassen worden waren.
SOUTH AFRICA, on the road in Cape Town, Bo Kaap, Dorp Street with colorful houses.
Bo-Kaap (Afrikaans; German: “Over the Cape”), also Malay Quarter (“Malay Quarter”) or Slamsebuurt[ (“Islamic Quarter”), was called Schotschekloof until 2017 and is a district of Cape Town in the South African province of Western Cape. It originated as a settlement of Cape Malays, who still make up the majority of residents today.
Bo-Kaap was settled by Cape Malays in the 18th century after they were released from slavery.
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.

Built in 1879, Oriel Chambers is a Grade II listed building which, since 2006, has housed the Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Emancipation. It is located in the city of Kingston upon Hull.
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.
A closer look at the mid-section of the Carroll County Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Mount Carroll, Illinois. Under the phrase "Slavery Abolished" appear the following words on the west facing side of the monument: “Carroll County: To The Memory Of The Men Who Saved The Union That Their Example May Speak To Coming Generations.”
The Carroll County Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument was dedicated in 1891, and was designed by George H. Mitchell, owner of a prominent granite monument company in Chicago.
Situated in northwestern Illinois, 10 miles east of the Mississippi River and 120 miles due west of Chicago, Mount Carroll is the seat of Carroll County. The estimated population of Mount Carroll in 2018 was 1,578.
Desde que me mude al Sur mi vida ha cambiado, y creo sinceramente que para mejor. Ahora hago una vida más sana, menos sedentaria, lejos de la pantalla del ordenador.. Recorro kilómetros y kilómetros cada día, "haciendo camino al andar", además de recuperar hábitos perdidos como ir al cine o un museo con regularidad, pasear las calles sin prisa y, sobre todo, sin cámara, dejando con ella la “obligación” de sacar la foto perfecta que enseñar en Flickr y obtener de esa manera el reconocimiento, el aplauso…
Toca por eso decir adios a una etapa de diez años que me resultó muy gratificante pero, a la vez, me tuvo sometido a la esclavitud de las redes sociales, anulando otras vías de comunicación que no fueran las virtuales.
A todos mis amigos y contactos o seguidores, agradecerles el apoyo recibido. Quien sabe si no nos encontraremos en otro rincón del planeta, en otro laberinto de la red. Hasta siempre.
Since I moved to the South I have changed my life, and I sincerely believe that for the better. Now I make a healthier, less sedentary life, away from the computer screen .. I walk kilometers and kilometers every day, "haciendo camino al andar" in addition to recover lost habits like going to the movies or a museum with regularity, walking the streets without haste and, above all, without camera, leaving the "obligation" to take the perfect picture to display on Flickr and thus obtain recognition, applause ...
It's time to say goodbye then. It was a period of ten years I found very rewarding but also a time of slavery social networks, overriding other means of communication than the virtual.
To all my friends and contacts or followers, to thank for their support. Who knows if we will not find in another corner of the planet, in another labyrinth network. See you.
Very near the Pottawatomie Massacre in 1856. "Pottawatomie Creek was the site where, in 1856, the militant abolitionist John Brown massacred five pro-slavery settlers, touching off an escalating cycle of reprisal and retribution that gave rise to the name "Bleeding Kansas."
Kansas went on to join the United States as a free state on January 29, 1861 which also happens to be my birthday albeit a few years later.
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.

A common misconception about human trafficking is that it does not happen in the United States. This is false, as the United States is ranked as one of the worst countries globally for human trafficking. It is estimated that 199,000 incidents occur within the United States every year.

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.

At Forest Farm Nature Reserve in Cardiff.
I thought I'd better put something on here tonight, just in case anyone thinks I've kicked the bucket.
At the moment I'm working hours that were made illegal with the abolition of slavery act, and any time left is spent looking after the Grandchildren.
One day I'm sure I'll get a little time to myself !!!
Throughout the south, there are these old stone walls that are literally stacked stone walls that border farmland. Many of these are very old, dating back to the 1800's when the fields were originally cut out of the forests. The trees were cut down or burned and the land was cleared of all natural stumps and stones. This process was called "grubbing". Some, but not many, of the fields were actually cleared by slaves and the stone walls stacked by the slaves as well. These walls are a constant reminder of the south's history and the shame that is still felt by many. If one looks past the history of these stone walls, they are actually works of art and skill that help to beautify the landscape.
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.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Opposing Steel Arcs: The two opposing steel arc walls represent the obstacles to freedom, including the harsh realities of racism and discrimination, that early Black Canadians of diverse backgrounds contended with on their journey from slavery to freedom and in their efforts to build their lives and communities.

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.

Ordonné prêtre à Paris en 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat poursuit des études scientifiques à Nancy.
En 1693, il est volontaire et part comme missionnaire avec l'autorisation des responsables de l'ordre des dominicains aux Antilles. Le 29 janvier 1694, il débarque en Martinique. Il rejoint ses pères à la paroisse de Macouba, où il travaille pendant deux ans à développer la paroisse et construit de nombreux édifices. En 1696, il voyage en Guadeloupe et en Dominique puis est nommé procureur syndic des îles d'Amérique à son retour en Martinique.
Il visite les Antilles françaises, néerlandaises et anglaises de Grenade à Hispaniola. Dans ses récits, rédigés en 1698, il évoque de nombreux aspects de la société caribéenne dont l'esclavage colonial. Il est lui-même un fervent défenseur de l'esclavage et possède des esclaves. Il décrit les conditions de vie des esclaves martiniquais et leur passion pour la danse. Il est également le témoin privilégié d'un autre aspect de cette société, la flibuste, pour laquelle ses écrits sont une source d'une grande importance.
Il fonde l'exploitation sucrière de Fonds-Saint-Jacques à Sainte-Marie en Martinique, et les paroisses de Le Robert et Le François (appelées cul-de-sac Robert et cul-de-sac François dans Nouveau Voyage aux Isles Françoises de l'Amérique). Il aide à développer et moderniser l'industrie de la canne à sucre dans les Antilles françaises. Il assiste le botaniste Charles Plumier dans son travail quand celui-ci séjourne aux Antilles, même s'il[Qui ?] jugeait la mission que lui a confié Louis XIV plus qu'inutile. Il fortifie et prépare la défense de la Guadeloupe (dont il reste la tour du Père-Labat) puis prend part au combat lors de l'attaque britannique de l'île en 1704. Il est nommé vice-préfet apostolique la même année.
En 1706, il rentre en Europe et est nommé en Italie ou il entreprend la rédaction du célèbre Nouveau Voyage aux isles Françoises de l'Amérique à partir des notes journalières qu'il avait prises toutes ces années durant. Il tente d'organiser son retour aux Amériques mais n'obtient jamais l'autorisation de sa hiérarchie. Il réside à Paris en 1716, dans le couvent de la rue Saint-Honoré où il exerce les fonctions d’agent du Maître général de l’Ordre jusqu'à sa mort1
Ordained priest in Paris in 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat pursued scientific studies in Nancy.
In 1693, he volunteered and left as a missionary with the authorization of the officials of the Dominican order in the Antilles. On January 29, 1694, he landed in Martinique. He joined his fathers in the parish of Macouba, where he worked for two years to develop the parish and built many buildings. In 1696, he traveled to Guadeloupe and Dominica then was appointed syndical prosecutor of the American islands on his return to Martinique.
He visits the French, Dutch and English West Indies from Grenada to Hispaniola. In his stories, written in 1698, he evokes many aspects of Caribbean society, including colonial slavery. He is himself a staunch defender of slavery and has slaves. It describes the living conditions of Martinican slaves and their passion for dancing. He is also the privileged witness of another aspect of this society, the flibust, for which his writings are a source of great importance.
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.
Terror issues forth from the male, illuminates his essential nature and his basic purpose.

Actually they're eating Joumou: Haitian pumpkin soup traditionally served on New Year's Day as a celebratory reminder of Haiti's hard-won liberation from slavery and independence from France.
Asking the question... what if this had really happened in our history on a mass scale?

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.

Captives in Taiji do not get to celebrate BLUE days. Each and every day is slavery.
We all have an opportunity to use the information provided by the Cove Guardians to educate and inform current and future generations around the world about how the continued human domination of animals in and out of the water is leading to devastation of the oceans and the environment. We can’t survive without the oceans. The oceans can survive without us.
There is a quote from AD Williams, ‘There will come a time when humans will communicate with certain animals. I am not sure we are prepared for what they have to say to us’. This is surely true of the dolphins that suffer in Taiji. What will they say to us? I dread to think.
