King Jimmy's - Freetown :: Sierra Leone

King Jimmy is an historical port in Freetown. In the 18th century it was the centre of the slave trade in Sierra Leone.

Thousands of people were taken down the steps and put on boats to the Americas.

The area has been neglected for many years but still exists as a place where people live and work.

Produced by young people from iEARN :: Sierra Leone during Cafesociety.org digital storytelling workshops in May 2006

don't forget to tax to land when you turn into a tourist destination and share the rent as a citizen's dividend.
