This is a collectively authored map by YouthLAB participants of the slave trade, migration routes of our ancestors and present families and our dreams for future journeys. It is individually customized by each of us telling stories that are deeply personal and yet politically and historically situated.

Red and grey lines show the slave trade routes. Blue lines show more recent family migrations. Yellow shows trips we have made and places we have visited. Pink marks the spots in Barbados and Blue marks spots in US. Film camera icons are where you can watch videos we have made. Suitcases are places we dream of visiting. We are always working on it so check in often.
