Our Lost Sons

I once knew a man, of our skin who offered many of our sons to those white visitors from faraway lands, to leave and never return home.
Whenever we asked him "why?" He always said "Worry not brothers, when they get there, many grand feasts will be prepared for them by the white men."

Hi @hamg96. This is a poignant story. It is very sad that so many people were sent into slavery.

One question about your images. You mentioned that they are from Pixabay, but one has a Shutterstock caption. If the images are from shutterstock, that is a paid site, so you must actually pay to use them. Otherwise, is is copyright infringement. Please be sure to use images you have the rights to, whether because they are under creative commons licensing, you have received permission or (in the case of Shutterstock), you have purchased them. Thank you!

Thanks very much @jayna, for the compliment.
And, well, I am sorry about that. I must have actually seen those pictures on Pixabay.
