For thousands of years, men, women and children were deprived of their freedom and belonged to Masters who did what they wanted with them.

The Egyptians, for example, had their pyramids built by an army of slaves.

And during the Slave Trade that lasted 400 years, Africans were captured, sold and forced to work.

This practice was authorized. Laws governed the life of slaves who were considered as… furniture.

But in the 19th-century, stop! People everywhere denounced this injustice.
