Kent, Sierra Leone, on the Atlantic coast, once served as a major transit point for the British slave trade. Captured Africans were delivered to Kent and held in the building pictured prior to transport to the Banana Islands' fortifications for processing and shipment to the Americas. The abandoned building stands as a reminder of the painful past, a past that need not be lived again. Kent's population and future changed with the 1792 arrival in Sierra Leone of FREED African American and West Indies slave from Nova Scotia. Kent, no longer utilized for slave trade, became the new home to hundreds of former slaves.
