We all need to know the facts about the tragic chapter of human history, the slave trade
Old Slave Market/Anglican Cathedral的点评
点评:The aim is promoting tolerance, reconciliation and an inclusive society, bridging social and ethnic divides by telling the story of this dark chapter in the region’s history in an open and factual way. Very interesting displays of photos and artifacts from this horrible chapter of world history. We saw many school children from age 10 through high school learning about what happened here at this slave market. The outdoor sculpture that memorializes the people brutalized by slavery is powerful. It is sobering to go into a subterranean prison chamber where slaves were chained awaiting their auction. Dreadful. I appreciate a country exposing the facts of what happened and in doing so, making sure the history and trauma of slavery is known to all people. My country, the USA, and other countries, Portugal for example, have not come to grips with their role in this horrendous human tragedy. Tanzania has done an important job here, developing this experience.
翻译:目的是通过以公开和真实的方式讲述该地区历史上的黑暗篇章,促进宽容、和解和包容性社会,弥合社会和种族分歧。非常有趣的是,展示了世界历史上这一可怕篇章的照片和文物。我们看到许多 10 岁到高中的学生都在学习这个奴隶市场发生的事情。纪念遭受奴隶制残酷对待的人们的户外雕塑很有影响力。走进一个地下监狱,奴隶们被锁链锁着等待拍卖,让人感到清醒。太可怕了。我欣赏一个国家揭露事实,并在此过程中确保所有人都了解奴隶制的历史和创伤。我的国家,美国和其他国家,例如葡萄牙,还没有认识到他们在这场可怕的人类悲剧中扮演的角色。坦桑尼亚在这方面做了重要的工作,积累了这种经验。
