In this July 9, 2017 photo, boys ride their bikes in front of houses that were once slave deposits in the late 18th century 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.
