Goree' Island, cont. ~

The building on the left, is the interior

section of Goree Island's slave house.

This was the last holding cell for

thousands of native Africans, who in

many cases were bound in metal

shackles and forced to wait in one of

the dark cells, scared, overcrowded and

with little or no food or drink.

When a slave ship arrived, the door you see

to the left and behind this text was swung

open..the slaves were marched aboard and

never again touched African soil.
