- Abstract:
general
(displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
- The memorial is located in the coastal Ghanaian district of Anlo, once known for its substantial involvement in the slave trade. A high-walled circular enclosure with a small wooden door, which serves as a narrow entrance, leads the viewer to the central feature of the memorial: a life-size sculptural group of a tall European slave-trader brandishing a whip over two kneeling African figures. The African figures, dressed in traditional garb, are chained at the neck. The interior walls of the monument are embellished with a narrative frieze illustrating a well-known local legend about a white trader who lived in Atorkor and the young men and women from the village who were deceived by the cunning trader and sold into slavery.
