“Quando a ventania que batia forte sobre o navio fez com que ele se inclinasse, e os negros caíssem uns sobre os outros, os gemidos e gritos agudos dos doentes através da escuridão da noite subindo acima do barulho dos ventos e das ondas, pareciam as coisas mais tristes de todos os horrores neste infeliz navio.”

[Gaby]

Super necessary to know mor about our sad past with slavery. Really sad, despite not being so deep on it, it describes the whole situation very well.

[Pattie Klein]

Written by someone who was there. Another perioid of history that I'm interested in reading about so this book fit the bill.
