Original Note:
The image used in the tweet is not related to the Igbo Landing Mass Suicide - it is in fact Jason de Caires Taylor's piece "Vicissitudes", a piece that had no intent to represent the Atlantic Slave Trade but was assumed by many to be so. https://sites.duke.edu/blackatlantic/sample-page/depictions-of-the-middle-passage-and-the-slave-trade-in-visual-art/levitate-windward-coast-and-vicissitudes-curatorial-statement/jason-de-caires-taylor-vicissitudes/ https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/events-african-american-history/igbo-landing-mass-suicide-1803/
