Slave Journey to the Coast

The transcript describes the harrowing experience of being captured and transported by slavers. The narrator details the physical restraints used to bind them and others in a line, the arduous journey to the coast, and the limited food provided. Upon reaching the coast, they were placed in a stone fort, cleaned, and fed. It was here that they encountered White men for the first time, who examined them as if they were animals, unaware that they were being evaluated for purchase.
