Abstract
The Trans-Atlantic slave trade lasted for over 360 years with over 11million Africans traded across the Atlantic over years. The methodology adopted for this write up is qualitative which includes internet resources, historical, literary materials, and relics. This paper examines specifically the medieval contributions of Africa in art history and art that emerged from the descendants of Trans-Atlantic slave trade like the festivals, capoeira martial art dance, foods, use of nsibidi symbols, dance styles, languages amongst others. The author also examined and looked into the importance and the possibility of reparation to African Trans-Atlantic slave trade descendants and the need for tendered apology to African Trans-Atlantic slave descendants in diaspora by Africans first and then the colonial slave masters for the inhuman injustice done and for the wrong committed. Recommendations were also given for possible adaptations in the write up.
