Curious motorists slowed down and peered out their windows as some 50 white men and women wound through Bridgetown under a blazing sun, some with chains around their wrists and ankles and wooden yokes around their necks.

Hail to one and all, to me i found it ridiculous to me it is like they were making a mockery of my ancestors and all the hardships and pain they went through for me to be here,they think that by this one distance walk they can heal the pain but my ancestors where tormented for hundreds of years and where raped,beaten and molested nothing of that sort happened to those walkers on they short journey into history time warp,it is not that easy.If they sincerly want to apologise and so forth they should have found a better way but just dont mock the torment my foreparents went through cause it doesnt make the situation any better.
