Description: "Gorée island has been chosen as a symbol as well as a place of remembrance. It is one of the historic sites where the destiny of thousands of Africans was played out over five centuries, victims of the slave trade. It is a place of recognition and reconciliation for the African diaspora. UNESCO classed Gorée island as a world heritage site in 1978. The site has remaind intact and has been the object of many restorations. Billions of people come and visit it each year."--Publisher's website.
