The “Igbo Landing” story of 1803: In May 1803, around 75 Igbo slaves who were being transported by sea revolted by capsizing their ship and drowned themselves while singing in Igbo, a song that translates to “the water spirit brought us. The water spirit will take us home”. (Mmụọ mmiri du anyi bịa, mmụọ mmiri ga-edu anyi laa).
