Our the final segments included an open discussion on a upcoming project in Haiti called Memory Village, which would be a living museum on slavery. The village would allow visitors to be a slave for a day (12 hour period). The 12 hour day would take you through a process of be kidnapped and/or captured, boarded on a slave ship, sold on an auction block and would end with rebellion that lead to the 1804 independence of Haiti from slavery. We posed the question “What do you think of this type of attraction” Many were offended and disagreed with the concept.
