This episode explores how religion shaped the Atlantic slave trade. It traces the Church’s reinterpretation of the “Curse of Ham” as justification for slavery, contrasts it with biblical passages against enslavement, and highlights the complicity of popes and the Church of England. Alongside, it examines African spiritual traditions such as Vodou, their survival in the Americas, and the Church of England’s recent admission of its historic ties to slavery.
