Atlantic Slave Trade
The Meditation Gardens at Mepkin Abbey are dedicated to fostering reflection and remembrance, especially in honor of the African-Americans who worked this very land. We encourage visitors to check out this interactive map created by Slate, which brings to life the history and impact of the Atlantic slave trade. Through animated routes and detailed information, visitors can explore the vast and tragic scope of this period, gaining insight into the journeys, lives, and legacy of those affected. This resource is offered as part of our commitment to deepen understanding and encourage mindful exploration of our shared past.
