Small black and white columns connected with blood-red seams commemorating the slave trade in front of the historic houses where the culprits worked.

Landmark of the town
The water fountain with monument in front of the old town houses were landmark of the area to mark the slave trade in the Netherlands. Just took a few photos for memory.
