We Will Remember

Last week I visited the Slave trade museum in Liverpool, North West of England. I’m well versed with the slave trade story, having not only done a history paper in this subject but also watched the movie Roots a couple of times. However there was something so raw about the museum experience that brought it home. We are privileged to be where are and to have this level of acceptance. We have lived to see a black man become the head of one of the worlds if not the greatest superpower nation. The slaves and the men of honour who fought for where we are could only dream of such a day. Their hard work is not forgotten and here is a thank you note that they endured the good fight.







There was no bill to discuss
You were lured with gifts
With dreams for a better life.
Out of your own will you were
taken off to the so called greener pastures.
They didn’t ask how you felt but were quick to
Fill their boats, all the chiefs and the traders cared about was
The deal, and once on the water came the seal to bind you
Freedom was but all gone
But you didn’t give up
You swallowed the pill and did what you had to do
To not only stay alive but to keep the fire burning
Till a way was made,because of the stories carried by you from generation
To generation
We are here today
Because of the good fight you kept up.
We are free today
We Owe you big.
Thanks
We will always Remember.
