Description
The Belgian Congo at the turn of the century was the world of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and a brutal time in African history, when European companies were slaughtering the Congolese in an effort to harvest the rubber needed for telegraph and electrical cables. William Sheppard was there to record the atrocities and to help pioneer a worldwide civil rights movement on behalf of the Congolese people.
