Watch one of the largest, most famous slave ports preserved in Africa
Along the West African Coast, Nigeria is where most enslaved Africans were captured and sold to the Europeans.
The town of Badagry, located in the South-Western part of Nigeria, was a major slave port during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The people of Badagry have preserved their history, including maintaining the original slave cells built around a well that still functions today.
The slave cells in Badagry, Nigeria, are equivalent in size to a tiny home in the USA (3x3 meters). However, there is nothing homey about these cells, which contained one small window equal to the size of a small air vent in an apartment in the USA.
The cells held up to 40 captives, including kings, queens, chiefs, and other dignitaries, seized by African slave dealers and sold as slaves to European slave merchants in exchange for guns, tobacco, alcohol, and other materials.
Some died. The strongest survived while waiting for long periods in these cells for the further disposal of their basic human rights—freedom from torture or inhuman or degrading treatment—under the Transatlantic Slave Trade that took kidnapped Africans to be enslaved in the Americas and West Indies.
