In this July 9, 2017 photo, remnants of a house that was once used a slave deposit in the late 18th century stands in the port area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before abolishing slavery in 1888, becoming the last country in the Americas to do so, Brazil was the world's largest slave market. A new app called “Museum of Yesterday” seeks to educate visitors about the history and role of Rio de Janeiro’s revitalized port in colonization, slavery and even recent corruption investigations.
