ONE AFRICA/USA DAY 2020 THEME: " UNVEILING SLAVERY TOGETHER"

United Nations Trans-Atlantic 
Slave Trade Remembrance



"For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women and children were the victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade, one of the darkest chapters in human history."
Exhibit of types of vessels used in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade by
Spain, Portugal, France, Germany England, & others.
Every year on 25 March, the United Nation's International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade offers the opportunity to honor and remember those who suffered and died at the hands of the brutal slavery system. 

The International Day also aims to raise awareness about the dangers of racism
 and prejudice today.



Commemorating the Memory of the Victims]
In commemoration of the memory of the victims, the United Nations General Assembly, in its resolution 62/122 of 17 December 2007, declared 25 March the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, to be observed annually.
The resolution also called for the establishment of an outreach programs to mobilize educational institutions, civil society and other organizations to inculcate in future generations the "causes, consequences and lessons of the transatlantic slave trade, and to communicate the dangers of racism and prejudice."

Each insurer licensed and doing business in this state shall research and report to the Commissioner with respect to any records within the insurer's possession or knowledge relating to insurance policies issued to slaveholders that provided coverage for damage to or death or their slaves

Genealogy
I am the @1KeeperoftheFire (Instagram)
Over the years with my family, we have our European ancestry to 149 AD. I have entered it on line in www.FamilySearch.org back to 1352.

 There is a conflict, that will require more research, I need to resolve, prior to continuing.

One of the Strother women, Helen, visited all the continents and every country! She put royal sureties, DAR, Palatines & Huguenots and other societies of do history in a book. She did the heavy lifting, I just have to verify the sources for accurate dates, places and names.
My Grandfather Milton Strother
Edgefield SC 1856-1945

My Great grandfather, David R. Strother 
Edgefield, SC 1814-1864
 She visited all the castles, country homes, archives, libraries, visited museums. She wrote a book documenting 49 generations. We are only 2 generations different. from the 1700's my Great grandfather David Richardson Strother is born in 1814. My mother's father is born in 1856, both were born in South Carolina.

I took the Family Tree DNA test in 2012 
so we have migration routes for 
our family from East Africa to West Africa

Keeper of little known history facts
 - There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
 - 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.

King Mansa Musa Emperor of the

At an estimated value of $400 billion, Mansa Musa I of Mali is the richest person who ever lived. 

Born in 1280, Mansa Musa was ruler of the Malian empire, and acquired the most part of his wealth from the production and trade of salt and gold; more than half of the world's supply at the time.

In 1914, the West African coast was still

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
