Interesting. I would have thought the number would have been higher, considering that Nigeria, a "cleft country" as we say in political science, is about 50% Muslim, and many of the slaves brought over were from there, as well as other West African countries.

I once heard that the term "slave" comes from the word "Slav," from when the Romans used to enslave them back in the day, supposedly they liked them cos they were tall and blonde. I wonder to what degree is that true though...

Congrats to Eta for the wonderful seminar!

I'm trying to find the article in Speed magazine that someone did about us but I'm having no luck...=(
