Black scuba divers across the world are searching for buried
shipwrecks from the transatlantic slave trade, when millions of
enslaved Africans were trafficked to the Americas during the 15th
to the 19th centuries. A new six-part podcast series, Into the
Depths, follows National Geographic Explorer Tara Roberts as she
sets off on the journey of a lifetime to meet the divers, marine
archaeologists, descendants of those brought over on ships, and
historians investigating the lost stories of the slave trade. She’s
inspired to share their accounts both to expand the historical
record and to honor the estimated 1.8 million unsung souls who
perished during the Middle Passage. Along the way, Tara meets up
with her family and friends, spiritual advisers, and even a poet to
help tell those ancestral stories, and delves into her own
roots—challenging her assumptions about home and belonging.
