#repost @tourism_overhall the Barbados Slave Code of 1661, legalised slavery on the island. This Slave Code model went on to be adopted in several other British colonies in the Caribbean and the Deep South in the USA and eventually spread even further afield. This is one of several reasons why identifying, developing and preserving the monuments of slavery in Barbados, is a non-negotiable, as it will provide a point of reference for the descendants of the enslaved and a place for learning, reflection, healing, paying homage and closure. Most importantly, it is critical that the world must never, ever forget history’s largest and darkest forced migration and the atrocities humanity is capable of committing against humanity, in order to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never, ever repeated. The toll of slavery and its permutations on todays societies is a serious subject in @roguesinoaradise - @tourism_overhall puts this initiative and monument into its rightful perspective #NewtonSlaveBurialGround #SlaveryinBarbados #BarbadosSlaveCode1661 #Bimrules! #Barbados #Barbadoshistory #Barbadostourism #culturalheritagetourism #uniquetoBarbados #uniquesellingpoints #oneandonly #diversificationanddifferentiation #tourisoverhall (at Barbados) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXva8vTtrVU/?utm_medium=tumblr
