Numbers 13:33 - And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

The United States and other countries were still slaving in 1890's in Africa according to a document I found signed by a representative of the President of the United States.
At the Public Records and Archives Administration Department (PRAAD) in Cape Coast Ghana Africa. The PRAAD building at Cape Coast holds a large body of documentary material including printed material, manuscripts, maps, drawings and photographic collections.

| Archival exploration, restoration and preservation (No Gloves Available)at the Public Records and Archives Administration Department (PRAAD) in Cape Coast Ghana Africa |
These are held in a large room in the archive building ideally designed as a repository. However, irregular power supply, poor functioning and unsatisfactory maintenance of air conditioners as well as humidity and
dust control problems have led to a deterioration
in the physical conditions of the collections.
The project will focus on pre-colonial collections, particularly hand-written court proceedings and those most endangered by the unfavorable climatic conditions and passage of time. A complete inventory of endangered documents and other archival material will be undertaken.
Some specific documents in need of urgent attention will be digitized, which will also be useful for exposing archival staff and research personnel to digital technology. The results of this pilot project will define and put in place the technical method for a larger project." https://eap.bl.uk/project/EAP474
