Episode fourteen - the history and legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. For millions of people in Africa the transatlantic slave trade meant subjugation, transportation, isolation and degradation. But what was slavery's legacy on a continent where people were both slaves and slave traders? And how did African communities protect themselves? "When slavery was rampant, our great great ancestor King Tanja Musa built this great wall to ward away slave raiders and slave traders from coming into Gwolu to enslave our people." Chief Koro Liman IV, of the Gwolu Area. Presented by Hugh Quarshie.
