‘Written in the Waters’ surfaces the untold stories of captive Africans lost at sea
Between the 16th and 19th centuries, as many as a thousand slave ships carrying captive Africans sank while crossing the Atlantic Ocean. National Geographic explorer and writer Tara Roberts has been traveling the world documenting these wrecks, and tells these untold stories in her new memoir, “Written in the Waters.” Ali Rogin speaks with Roberts for our series, Race Matters.
