Barbados is a very interesting Country and they are very aware of their history. Very impressed by the people when I was there.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Interesting. I wish to know and see more.

is this a story about the descendants of enslaved Africans that were taken to Barbados, leaving Africa to search for their roots in Barbados?

I thought only ADOS moved to Liberia

It’s good to know that it was a move that was done by the diaspora of formerly enslaved people …

their ancestors left Barbados to go to Liberia, those descendants are visiting Barbados on a trip to find their families again and build a stronger relationship with Barbados and their roots

American and Caribbean former slaves, free blacks, a few Native Americans, whites who were married/partnered with blacks, and slaves rescued from other ships sent to Liberia.

I read some where the US govt even threw a few pawg prostitutes(of course they would) on a ship(not sure if they made it there long) along with the free blacks.

A older Liberian woman told me she got her US citizenship because they still had their family records from the 1800s when their family immigrated to Liberia.
They took the records to court and the judge granted them citizenship based on those old family records.
