The Caribbean triangle trade of sugar, molasses, and rum was a big part of the colonial economy. Not so well known was the salt industry, which flourished in large measure because of slave labor. Mary Prince was one of the slaves who worked in the salt ponds of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Cherene Sherrard-Johnson will give us the background of the Caribbean salt trade and tell us about the remarkable account that Mary Prince left about her experiences as a slave working and traveling through the Caribbean in the early years of the nineteenth century.
