insanity at its brink


Just look, think, read, imagine. This is the British Slave ship Brookes in the act of 1788. This is pure insanity. All of those little blurs in this photo are slaves crammed into spaces two feet by seven inches below and on shelves. This ship was holding approximately four hundred and thirty slaves. I don't know about you, but this really gets me. It bothers me so much. Holy crap!!
Well, I just thought I would give you this to stir yourself up a bit. Hopefully it triggers something.
