The road you see is made up of stones that were once called ballisters. These were stones that were on the slave ships when slaves were transported from Africa. These stones "witnessed" the abuse to the slaves through uncomfortable conditions, sicknesses, starvation and death on these ships. What was done on these ships were inhumane. If these ballisters (stones) could talk, what would they say? They probably would not say anything. If anything they would scream and cry at the inhumanity they witnessed.
