On April 10th 1834, a fire would start in the mansion at 1140 Royal Street. The elderly cook who was enslaved, chained to the stove started this fire, and when asked why, she explained she did not want to go to the attic. This piqued their attention, and they went to the attic. What they found was deplorable. Enslaved people chained in an attic, abused, and tortured, and barely surviving. 🥀 Content Warning: Slavery, enslaved people, torture, murderResources for Black peopleLearn More About The Transatlantic Slave Trade 🥀 ⁠Request a topic/case🥀  Watch On Youtube🥀Follow Us🥀 Disclaimer: If anything we say is incorrect, or ignorant please comment below, or email us.  All opinions stated are ours alone, we speak for no one who was/is involved in the case.Thank you for listening
