The transatlantic slave trade resulted in a vast and as yet still unknown loss of life for African captives both in and outside of America. Approximately 1.2 – 2.4 million Africans died during their transport to the “New World”. More died soon upon their arrival. The amount of life lost in the actual procurement of slaves remains a mystery but may equal or exceed the amount actually enslaved.

The savage nature of the trade led to the destruction of a whole continent, millions of families and tribes and important ancient cultures. And a newly formulate people.

This history and its present evidence inspired, Janice Graham, the Founder and CEO of OUR COMMON GROUND Media and Communications to create a media and broadcast response to this Truth.
