We entered the small National Museum of the North Bank which depicted the horrors of slavery between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. We tried to lift one of the neck shackles on display and found it to be unbelievably heavy. On display were artefacts of, pistols, whips, shackles, cowrie shells, cowbars and kiss pennies which were iron bars used as money to buy slaves, as well as literature on the history of the slave trade, very thought provoking.
