They say the Ebo tribe still haunts the landing and you can hear the chains and their chants “The Sea brought me and the Sea will bring me home.”

The expanse of the Atlantic Ocean could not stop the igbo spirit and separate them from their ancestral land; they courageously showed the world that the living spirit has no respect for distance. I could refer to this excerpt from Dennis Brutus:
“stone walls do not a prison make,
nor iron bars a cage….”
This mass rejection of slavery, to my mind, sent a heart-rending signal to the discerning world that slavery was evil and, possibly, marked the beginning of its end.
