About ATI, LLC

It is estimated that ten to twelve million Africans starting in the 16th century and ending in the 19th 

century came to the Americas in the second stage of a three-stage journey commonly known as the 

"Triangle Trade Route." The European traders took fabrics, wine, and weapons on the first leg of the 

triangle to Africa and exchanged the merchandise for human cargo. On the second leg of the journey, enslaved Africans were taken to the Americas and traded for coffee and sugar and the last leg was back to Europe to sell the goods that was purchased in the Americas with human livestock. 

Our African American ancestors were part of a production chain, but through it all from 1619 to present we have evolved and continue to grow in knowledge, the spirit of our ancestors who came before us and proud descendants of the "Village Generation." We are the new "African Triangle," a triangle forged out of love, perseverance, pain, suffering and pride for who we are fully recognizing our true, "I Am." We are the spirit of African Transatlantic Triangle we should wear that concept proudly.
