This lecture with University of Maryland historian Richard Bell examines varieties of resistance to the Transatlantic Slave Trade within Africa, before any African captives ever boarded the great prison hulks that would carry them across the Atlantic. It then pivots to explore the ways that captives—working sometimes individually, sometimes collectively—fought slavery on the Middle Passage from Africa to America.
