It stands directly over the sight where slaves, captured in East Africa, were taken and auctioned. There is a marble statue imbedded into the alter floor, at the exact spot the whipping post stood. In the corridor of the church is a section in remembrance of where the slaves, to weak to sell, men, women and children were shot. Slavery on the north end of Zanzibar Island continued until 1907.
