Goree

Every weekend morning is a busy weekend in Dakar, the capital of Senegal located in West Africa. Tourists from different horizons with their cameras and camcorders formed a long line at the port of Dakar. In front of them is a big white ferry ready to be loaded for Goree. Tourists standing on Africa soil came for a reason. Some came to satisfy their curiosity, some to reconnect to their history and while others came for pleasure and discovery.
   The people who came to reconnect to their history carry different faces and moods while visiting Goree. Most of them are African Americans, Africans and human right activists. Goree is not just a museum or a building on the Island , it is History and that history narrates the Slave trade by Portugueses, Britishs, The Netherlands and the French.
 Goree was used as port of slave trade and transportation to the Americas. The darkness, the cold wind from the Ocean going straight to the dark room where slaves where "stacked" are just few of the sufferances that Africans went through. Stepping on Goree soil and seing the door from the dark room to the ocean, makes a court case in the matter of "Crime against humanity".
  The building is been taking care of, thousand of tourists visiting everyday and UNESCO protect the area as an educational and historical place.This place matters to all Black people and to the world as well because of its history and the location as well.
