Click HERE to listen to last Monday's NPR 'Talk of the Nation' discussion about new research on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The first guest is Custom House director, Susan Tamulevich.
The Trans-Atlantic Slave Database has information on almost 35,000 slaving voyages that forcibly embarked over 10 million Africans for transport to the Americas between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. It offers researchers, students, and the general public a chance to rediscover the reality of one of the largest forced movements of peoples in world history.
