Walking through the Huntsville Art Museum really made the wheels in my head begin to turn.

The abolishment of the transatlantic slave trade era in 1808 ushered in a rapid expansion of domestic slave trade in the United States. While the transatlantic slave trade brought the eventual end to slave transportation overseas, it had a highly profitable and adverse effect upon domestic slave trade and transportation. Towns that were once irrelevant such as Montgomery Alabama became central assets for slave transportation because they connected the lower and upper South through the railroads and steam boats.

Yet until 2013, Montgomery Alabama failed to acknowledge the injustice that occurred on their very own streets.
