Один из самых успешных работорговцев в истории, кому тем не менее установлены памятники в Африке. Португалец, давший начало африканскому роду. Проходимец, ставший побратимом короля Дагомеи. Католик, похороненный с почестями в виде человеческих жертвоприношений. Белый пращур, вошедший в пантеон вуду – Франсиску Фелиз ди Соза (1754–1849).
У него были десятки жен и сотни детей, и его клан поныне пользуется большим влиянием в Того и Бенине. Вокруг клана также консолидируются потомки бразильских рабов, вернувшихся на родину после отмены рабовладения – включая тех, кого Соза продал. Для этих людей он не злодей и не угнетатель, а покровитель, фигура престижа и силы, предок-лидер. На фото – потомки Франсиску и патриарх рода Чача VIII.
