“Part 1 is now live — start there to understand the full timeline.”

This video explores one of the earliest recorded moments in the development of the
transatlantic slave trade. In 1441, Portuguese traders began capturing Africans along
the West African coast — a moment that would later expand into a global system
impacting millions of lives.

This documentary is part of an ongoing timeline series created to document, preserve,
and share the true history of Negro ancestors and their descendants.
