Nigeria: Calabar - Relieving Slave Trade Memories
13th Nov 2006, 16:23 GMT
Cross River State is re-enacting its slave trade heritage. The film, Amazing Grace which captures the essence of a sagacious application of native intelligence to deal with white slave merchants and their local collaborators. What is even more instructive about the film is the re-affirmation that people are the same everywhere: There are good and bad people on all sides. More importantly, the film firmly and convincingly places the origin of one of the word's most popular hymns-Amazing Grace-at the doorsteps of the Efiks.
