So there were the slaves in the slave ships and then there were the immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships. I missed that part in history class. I did not know slave ships had tourist class accommodations. I see now. That must be where Martin Luther King got that "We have a Dream" stuff, from the black tourists of the 17th and 18th century.
