Monument to Slavery

---

With an inscription from Maya Angelou. Reads "We were stolen sold and bought together from the African continent got on the slave ships together lay back to belly in the holds of the slave ships in each others excrement and urine together sometimes died together and our lifeless bodies thrown overboard together today we are standing up together with faith and even some joy" Despite founding Savannah without a slave trade, Oglethorpe eventually succumbed to the demands of plantation owners and allowed it. Without such trade the plantation owners would not have been able to make their vast fortunes, and it was partly because they considered this an unfair trade advantage that the Unionist North, eventually came to blows with the Confederate South in the Civil War

A shop owner from the River Street tourist area who struck up a conversation with us in a lift and also directed us to local restaurants

A double turntabled fire engine

Finally I got to see one. It steers from the front and the back. As a 6 year old in Montreal I watched for a year a fire station being built, only to see one of these emerge from the newly finished building. Fifty three years later I got to see one again. (At the instruction of our shop owner friend the firefighters posed. They were having their lunch but stopped to pose for us)

Carol braves the flooded street during a typical Savannah afternoon storm. We were 'forced' to take refuge in a restaurant.
