I am doing research for a book on Brazilian slavery. Again the Dutch were mentioned with these pictures. In 1850 the trading in slaves was to be stopped. But it still continued with illegal caputures and landings on, for example Brazilian shores. When it became to difficult for the Dutch, they just took the Africans to the Arab countries. Brazil was the last country to abunden slavery, before that it was Holland (The Netherlands), number one traders in slaves. I wonder why we don't teach our children more about our horrible past. The Dutch are always quick to point at someone else, but we are responsible too for the holocaust called slavery. It is even sadder that slavery is still going on. The photos are unbelievable sad.

WOW!! I feel a sadness of what my people had to endure. Jewell @Beauty

Thats really interesting about you collecting the off white garments and the connection with slaves being forced to wear similar.

I have always created art based on slavery from my southern roots. I am a contemporary quilter. However, I could never understand why I never had dreams, or any subconsious recall of being on s ship! I have traved to Africa numerous times hoping to rekindle a deep memory only to return to pejorative images of "aunt Jemima" in my art. What I did not realize was that all along I was collecting these off-white garments at the flea market and antique shops- tons and tons of of them. Once in graduate school, I began to do more serious research on my ancestors as slaves in the south. I discovered that South Carolina had a law prohibiting slaves from wearing any garments but Welsh White Plains. My work now reflects these images connected to slavery. I continue to try and make connections all the time. Beverly Y. Smith @Beauty
