Guys and Gals,
I guess I have had it wrong all this time. I was thinking that slavery was not a good thing, but on reflection, I can imagine a black man walking the trail in his native country and seeing those bill boards that would say something like this; "Looking for steady work? Go to America" or something like that. Or maybe "Tired of the jungle, go to American and get lots of sunshine and fresh air". Approaching the beach he would see signs over the Kiosks on the beach that mught say something like this; "Sigh up here to go to the US, Ships leaving hourly"
See I am starting to get the picture. :)
