In some parts of the world January is anti-slavery and human trafficking prevention month. I am going to run a month long thread to honour slaves of the first decades of the colonial settlement at the Cape. #antislaverymonth
I am a descendant or relative of slavers, slave owners and slaves. #antislaverymonth
The primary way to identify slaves and learn more about them is to track their owners and the slavers in the colonial record of the period. This includes things like the ‘company journal’ usually written by or on behalf of first the commander and later governor. #antislaverymonth
