OCTOBER EVENT/S 2021
HUMAN CARGO: SAVANNAH AND THE OCEANIC SLAVE TRADE
The intention of “Human Cargo: Savannah and the Oceanic Slave Trade” is to recognize this region’s role in the African diaspora. From 1755 – 1858 hundreds of slave ships arrived in Savannah from the West Indies, the Caribbean, and Africa. Each of these vessels carried tens to hundreds of enslaved people destined to be sold on the auction block, profiting Savannah’s merchants and contributing to the growth and economic wealth of the city.
Special focus will be given to the innumerable people who did not survive the journey. A tribute to those lost will be presented through a moving installation by SCAD professor Chris Nitsche, the students of Savannah State, and the students of Georgia Southern. This installation will be located in the Museum’s North Garden which offers free admission.
