The Middle Passage @ GA Pacific Building 7p
SankofaSpirit in conjunction with the Heritage Club presents "The
Middle Passage". It was the route between Africa and the New
World that carried slaves to exchange for sugar and tobacco. It
was the sea that carried a human cargo, and a resting place for
thousands who would not survive the journey. The story is told by
an African slave whose spirit haunts the ocean route. Sold into
slavery by a tribal king, he is shackled and transported on a journey
shared with some six hundred souls. A journey barely half would
survive. Free and open to the public. Marta Accessible (Peachtree
Center/Library Exit) ~ Parking Available on July Wesley Dobbs. About
SankofaSpirit is a non-profit dedicated to promoting and celebrating
the heritage of people of African descent working as a collective
to rekindle, reclaim, and reconnect with our great legacy. Company
