"We passed a slave woman shot or stabbed through the body and lying on the path. [Onlookers] said an Arab who passed early that morning had done it in anger at losing the price he had given for her, because she was unable to walk any longer." ~ David Livingstone writing about the slave trade in the African Great Lakes
region, which he visited in the mid-nineteenth century
FACT: Historians say between the 8th and 19th century, 10 to 18 MILLION Africans were bought by
Muslim Arab slave traders and taken from Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert.
