A coffee plantation in Brazil enslaved Africans. Centuries later, their descendants have taken over
Abstract
And what was once the headquarters of a slaveholding empire has been claimed by descendants of those who were once forced to work there. They recently secured funding from the Brazilian government to transform Ruins Park into a museum and school of jongo, an Afro-Brazilian tradition that mixes music, dance, spirituality and storytelling.
