Everyone has the desire to know where their ancestry comes from. We all need to know our history. A few years ago, many Black Americans decided to figure out their background through DNA testing. Some of them found out that their ancestors came from Cameroon, Senegal, Ghana and numerous other African countries. There are probably many of you who still don’t know where your ancestors were captured from before arriving to America. That is why Culturally Yours went to the Island of Gorée in Senegal (West Africa) to look through the “door of no-return” and tell you the story.

I’ve never been there but it looks amazing! The horrific crimes that happen there are disheartening but thanks for sharing this piece.
No problem! It is unfortunate that these human crimes happened. The museum is a must-visit site. Thanks for visiting!
Nicole, if you have a chance to visit Africa, I recommend you to go to Senegal. The history of the House of slave has a diverse culture and Senegalease people are very welcoming. That is why their country is called the country of Teranga (Welcome).
