about
Unconditional love is a powerful force that transcends even the most brutal of circumstances. During the transatlantic slave trade, many African women were forced to witness the ripping away of their loved ones, not just from their homeland, but also from their very presence. The most horrific images depict enslaved Africans being auctioned off, with children clinging to their mothers in desperation, unaware of the horrors they would soon face.
For any parent, having a child taken away and being powerless to intervene, would be an inconceivable and heart-wrenching experience. The transatlantic slave trade was a brutal chapter in human history, but where individuals were physically powerless, the strength of maternal love remained unchallenged, in defiance of it. Despite the trauma and suffering inflicted by society, a mother’s love has no equal, no matter the situation.
