This
is a very cruel and heartbreaking event. The picture from 1864 shows
two iconic African American slaves undergoing the punishment of
"mosquito torture." They have been stripped naked and tightly chained to
a tree, while numerous mosquitoes in the forest relentlessly bite them,
enjoying this rare feast until they are drained of blood. Several days
later, the heads of the two slaves are hanging down, breathless, having
been scratched to death.
From the 15th century
onward, the slave trade lasted for nearly four hundred years, during
which over one hundred million black people died at the hands of slave
traders and plantation owners. May the world be free from war and
enslavement, and may there be peace.
