Black Divers Honor Slave Ship Wreck, Ancestors

A powerful pilgrimage to Key West, Florida, where Black divers connected with the underwater and onshore memorials of the Henrietta Marie, a British slave ship that sank three centuries ago. The event, organized by Diving With a Purpose and Underwater Adventure Seekers, allowed divers to feel the presence of their ancestors and gratitude. The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum holds artifacts from the ship, including over eighty sets of iron shackles, reminding us of the twelve million-plus Africans shipped across the Atlantic. These pilgrimages keep history alive and push back against efforts to erase it. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
