The Zulu War Rorkes Drift captures both triumph and tragedy as history unfolds before our eyes. Yet not all narratives are triumphant; witness the haunting image of captive Africans on a slave-ship off Key West. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's darkest chapters that must never be forgotten.
