Congo is considered ground zero for the slave trade. More of our brothers and sisters left the shores of what is today Congo and Angola than any other port. Congo has an abundance of natural resources which many Western countries covet and which has created humanitarian problems.
In spite of all that, the Congolese culture is strong and vibrant.
Prior to the TransAtlantic slave trade, Kongo had strong Kingdom’s. We will explore the history of the land and the resilient people of Congo!! Join us on a tour of a lifetime… Register today!!!
