In the US we hear about slavery and how the white man wronged blacks. SMH. In Africa you don't hear it that way. Slavery was just a fact. It was something that happened. In fact it still happens in some places. Now I'm not saying it's something that they are proud of it is just something that is. Just another part of the struggle that is life. I find the attitude towards it here very interesting. There are actually slavery museums and it is often in Art. Here is a picture I saw in a local restaurant for sale. It was very well done and a nice piece of art. I wonder how people here would react if they saw this hanging in a resturant.
