  7. What is the Benin government’s motivation for creating two museums based on slavery?

  8. Describe the ways in which the legacy of the trans-Atlantic slave trade is causing tensions in modern-day Benin.

  9. Should the de Souza family embrace their past and apologize or is the past the past (should they move on and forget it)? Explain your reasoning and thoughts in complete sentences.

  1. Do you think the situation in Benin with the de Souza family is comparable to the history of the Civil War and/or slavery in the South? Why or why not. Explain your reasoning and thoughts in complete sentences.

Note: Students may read this article and feel it is appropriate to place the burden of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on the shoulders of West Africans. But remember, without demand for slaves from Europeans, West Africans would not be supplying them with enslaved people. Consider basic economic concepts before making conclusions.
