Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, has emphasized the significance of spreading information about the slave trade in Africa.
She argued that it is important to share as many times as possible the tales of the slaves’ suffering and the trauma it caused their families.
After passing through the final location from which numerous enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas, Kamala Harris pleaded with the media to tell the stories of the struggles.
“In often, many situations – odds that were designed to break them, to demoralise them to create, existence in situations that were to make them feel like less than humans, less than full human beings but yet they survived. And they tell another history – a history of endurance, a history of faith, believing what is possible.
“A history not only tells about the ability that each individual has to survive but to thrive. And so all these stories must be told,” she stated.

She continued “All these stories must be told in a way that we take from this place, the pain we all feel the anguish that reeks from this place.
“And we then carry the knowledge that we have made gained here toward the work that we do in lifting up all people in recognising the struggles of all people fighting for as the walls of this place.”
After the visit, according to her, justice, freedom, and universal respect for human rights will still exist.
Kamala Harris claimed that “the people who walked through that door were descendants of strong, proud people.
“People of deep faith. People who loved their families, their traditions, and their culture. And carried that innate being with them.”
The reason, according to her explanation, is that the people’s experiences and survivals tell a tale of fortitude, faith, and believing in the possible.
