Overview
Four hundred years ago, freed Black folks braved the Atlantic Ocean to travel to Africa. On arrival, they walked from the shore to a tall cotton tree, where they took respite from their journey. When they awoke with renewed strength, they decided to name this place Freedom Town, then Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. Elder Ballu tries to remember this history and legacy.
