Coming this week, sponsored by Christ Church, New Brunswick:
Join us Wednesday, February 15 at 7pm via Zoom
for a special presentation
by Melbourne Garber
Sierra Leone – Its Unique Transatlantic Slave Trade,
Connection to America and Early Church History
This presentation recounts the unique history Sierra Leone had during the transatlantic slave trade and highlighting why its connection to America was so vitally important. It relates the history of the first African Americans who returned to Africa and to Sierra Leone, its settlement by other freed enslaved Africans and the start of the early churches in West Africa. Having grown up in Sierra Leone and being an active parishioner here at Christ Church alongwith a few others, and being a descendant of these Settlers, I am passionate about telling this exceptional history to a wider audience.
