“The ceremony is basically their funeral that they never received,” Pittman said. “They were thrown off the enslavement ships into the Atlantic Ocean. They died, they drowned in the water. So we come out here to honor them, and to say we have not forgotten you, and that you are important, and that you are remembered, and that you live with us.” - Chadra Pittman www.dailypress.com #dailypress #dayofrememberance #buckroebeach #middlepassage #ceremony #funeral #enslavement #slaveship #honor #ancestors #ancestralheritage #drowned #water #remember #africanspirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/BygIvUhnu8J/?igshid=1psfbicujv1kf
