ARTWORK

Look and absorbed this picture: How does it make you feel?  How do you think the captives felt? 

From an engraving entitled The Africans of the slave bark "Wildfire" brought into Key West on April 30, 1860 which appeared in Harpers Weekly on 2 June 1860. The picture shows a separation of sexes: African men crowded onto a lower deck, African women on an upper deck at the back.
