In Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin
By Alaba Simpson
Within the framework of the “Slave Route” project, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (”UNESCO”) has undertaken a large compilation of oral traditions and memorable testimonies of the legacies entailed in the history of this tragic institution. This living memory, engraved in the lives of families and communities, constitutes a priceless, intangible cultural heritage that is becoming more fragile as older generations are replaced by younger ones. These memories must be preserved at all costs.
