The most moving part of the journey to Cameroon was the "pilgrimage " to the Bimbia Slave Port. It is believed that a third of the enslaved people from present day Cameroon came through Bimbia. Further research tell us 35% of Africans taken to the Americas were from the areas of present day Nigeria and Cameroon.
Go to our group's Facebook page "Time is Elastic," scroll down to the BBC interviews: I am on the interview dated 12.30.10. Also please listen to the tribal elder apologize and admit the African role in the slave trade. At the water's edge I channeled my female ancestors, unplanned and unscripted: it was an out of body experience.
