curse of the door of no return  

Definition(s)

  • The curse below is one of the most popular of the curses that were uttered for nearly 20 years at each “door of no return,” as the various doors along the coast of Africa were called. These were the doors through which Africans were led to the waiting ships to be transported to the Americas and Caribbean to be enslaved.
