- Gorée is a tiny, car-free island off the coast of Dakar, in Senegal. It's known for its role in the 15th- to 19th-century Atlantic slave trade. On the narrow streets, colonial buildings include the House of Slaves, now a museum. The 19th-century Fort d'Estrées houses the IFAN Historical Museum, with exhibits on Senegal's past. The Henriette Bathily Women's Museum considers the role of women in West African society.
Gorée Island was first visited (1444) by Portuguese sailors under Dinís Dias and occupied in subsequent years. The island's indigenous Lebu people were later displaced, and fortifications were erected. The town was active in the Atlantic slave trade from 1536 until 1848, when slavery was abolished in Senegal. Historians debate whether Gorée was a major entrepôt for the trade or simply one of many centres from which Africans were taken to the Americas.
Gorée changed hands several times, but from 1817 until Senegal's independence in 1960 it was under the control of France. As early as 1848 Gorée participated in French elections, and it was represented in the French Parliament during the first half of the 20th century. The island's importance steadily declined with the rise of Saint-Louis and Dakar on the mainland.
Several museums and the remains of colonial-era forts attract tourists. The Maison des Esclaves ("Slave House"), which was constructed in 1786, includes displays of slavery artifacts, and the Fort d'Estrées (built in the 1850s) is the site of a historical museum. There are also museums of women's history and of the sea. In 1978 Gorée Island was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and several of its historic structures were restored in the 1980s and '90s.

#TheSlaveTradeinAfrica #GoreeIsland #travel #whattodoinSenegal #africa #west africa #Goree Island The Slave Trade in Africa
after I visited Goree and heard that the chiefs sold their own people out, unfortunately i didnt feel sad i just saw it as business. capitalism at its best. it was just humans had a price tag on their head. . plus it wasn't like the the Europeans didn't have inside help for 300 plus years. there were generations of tribal sellouts that aided this entire operation. And the church? why would any sensible descendant of slaves believe in the Christian God after all the captures beat your ancestors , tortured, raped and killed them and then they go pray in the church ,slaves were forced to help build, up the hill for a safe voyage to the new world. Make it make sense? I was just visited the island yesterday afternoon. i left with more questions than answers. The Island is beautiful though.
Yea
Exactly it's so irritating to see black people believe that mysterious believe in this age how??ughh 😖😖
the chiefs sold their own people out ? pur lie teach on your slavers and colonialists books and stupidly repeated by some africans.
Selling people is not a business, it is a tragedy and even if it was your mother or father selling you into slavery it is immoral and very wrong.🤨
@@butter9973 they eventually chose it because no one can force you for 350 years.
Who here from Vlad’s Akon interview?
Me
Facts bro that’s exactly why I am
Curiosity from vlad/akon interview. Will go back and watch the rest after this
What interwiew ?
Facts
I visited Goree Island in 1979. It is heart-breaking to stand in the tiny rooms where my people were kept, crammed together like cattle and treated far worse than any animal ever would be treated. It should be required for ever American who does not understand the true plight of Black People to go there and stand in the footprints of slaves.
😢
Gore
@Bear Williams it must have changed a lot since 1979
Je suis d 79. C'est triste vraiment 😭
This island with all it's beauty and peace, yet it leaves me so sad and heartbroken because of the horrible history, to actually be in a place where people were treated as property and the cruelty they endured...
Agree
Estella Serrano I didn't see any beauty, just haunting memories of slave's being abused. Too much negative history for me to even step onto that island. All because their skin was different, some ignorant, insecure demon, perpetuated this monstrosity.
That would be most of america as well then. Pretty much all of south Africa. You wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Racism is big everywhere. Indentured servitude is modern day slavery and its huge in the middle east and some parts of Asia.
@MegaSkilla It’s an UNESCO world heritage site ffs
the island is beautifull
The ♩ music ♬ is inappropriate .. especially when 8 to 10 million souls are still at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.
cinnamonstar808 yes! This is happy upbeat music in a video about slavery. Make it make sense.
They’re not at bottom of the ocean... the sharks will testify to this.
Agreed
Thought the same exact thing sounded more like the sound track to a retreat commercial
God has their souls.
Here after Vlad interview
Me too lmao
who ?
Suu woop!
From Akon
Vlad
Sad. I can't believe these ppl who called themselves Christians did that to slaves. Jesus have mercy on them.
Jesus
Christianity was just a another tool to loot.
Jesus is comming back 4 his ppl not slaves but dignified Africans.
They did that to people.
Arabs
The African country of Mauritania made slavery illegal in 2007 but still has around 600,000 slaves today. Why is the world not trying to end slavery in africa?
J B because they benefit from it
thana mesny i was just about to say the same
I'm Portuguese from the Islands but have DNA from Senegal
Obrigadaaaa
Where's the blacks saying " this island should be condemned or put on jail ".....
calm down
Beautiful island but such sad history of slavery it just makes me sick how our world is so messed up like that God Will come back soon God bless
completly agreee
Yeah, It does suck. No race should go through that.
Sad sad
@@donelbenyisrael2316 agree
Agreeeeeed
I blame the ancient Africans for our slavery but hey at least we are stronger and gangsta
He's sugar coating it.
Yes
The people who live there, are they descended from slaves that were left there, ones who helps in the trade or moved there back in the 80’s-90’s when it was renovated?
Mercedes Sanchez Rodriguez de Guzmán - I cant find the whole story online. I hope my question is answered in it.
If someone had seen it, let me know or tell me what it is but no one but you has answered.
I’m thinking like you, a little bit of all of it.
Auntie M No it's a tourist island. Everyone sells stuff and the kids play at the beach area with the tourist kids. I think that many of the people who work there catch a ferry to the island everyday. I don't remember seeing many places to live there. Mostly shack shops and vendor booths everywhere
Just In credible “blacks” lmao why’re on this channel you weirdo
Ok
I've been there. They walk you out the back door. The door of no return and you come back in and they say welcome home brother. Some ssy that very few slaves actually left there, but it is just about the closest island to the U.S.
Senegal is a beautiful country. Check out the Pink Lake in Senegal. I brought water back from there.
nice
@Mercedes Sanchez Rodriguez de Guzmán yes it is. I was the greatest experience that I've ever had. I stayed in Dakar for 7 days and then attended a 3 day long wedding in a village. I was even given a name by an elder in a fishing village. I got to swim in the Atlantic (last time ever swimming at a beach because I nearly drowned) and stayed at this huge open style mansion on the Atlantic for a night. I visited the mosque of Touba and drank from it's fountain of youth. I was only 11 at the time but it was the most memorable experience of my childhood
Senegal is beautiful
Don t forget de the revolt of 500 ceddo slaves in goree island
Not sure what that is but I will look into it :) thaaaanks
I dont forget
Interesting choice of music
Never forget what evil can create. So that we remember how to stop them again.
Whites...🙄
WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ALREADY
thanks tho👍🏽
true
That place has to be haunted.
must be....
If I would have been there I would haunt that place till God came back
@Utubeblock Freespeech have to disagree
Mmm ghost dont exist
Senegal Africans came from this island to Haiti "then 100 years later" they took Haiti slaves to......new Orleans Louisiana 🔥👑💯
depressing to see what our men and women of my race went thru to get here!! This terrible, why they never taught this to us in History class?? Hum...
djcoolcliff It goes so deep that it would change everything if ever told, but it will one day.
😢
This is tought in every history class, basicaly slavery is on every single chapter of history, what do you think the romans did, or persians, greeks, arabs etc...
Hi ! Im from Sénégal and im proud ! Tks ALEXUAE
Lovely country you have
Nice country
Senegal is great
Good country
Your ancestors should have killed the 1st white man that stepped foot on their territory maybe history would have been different in the americas
Poor people were thrown out to be eaten by the Sharks is horrendous 😒 Horrible way to die
What a God forsaken, horrible, haunted place. Wth? How many people were thrown in the ocean on a daily basis for sharks to hang out?
a lot
Maybe they were the lucky ones.
😢
This island needs to pay reparations 💰
harrison wintergreen I was just bout to say that . The same ppl that sold us getting payed again off of selling story’s of our pain and we just post to go back and pay them to tell us about it ..... when do we get payed for all we been through and still going through
Keep those hands out instead of helping yourself. Greedy grubby people.
@Dreaded kitty

From Jeff koinange's book "Through my african eyes "

This is interesting. I’m currently in Mali country nearby. I maybe check it out too.
Will check more of your videos! 👍🏽

Very Interesting Indeed :)

@ 3:00 that beat! 💯👏
its a cool song

I visited my very first car-free island in Portugal and it was amazing, so peaceful!!! And the air felt so fresh too! Great video Alex, I truly enjoyed it and love the quality of the video too :)
What island ?
They kidnapped people from there home's
True
absolutly right
@Justin credible the Africans were not selling their own people. The African aka Hamites in the Bible sold the children of Israel who went back into slavery on ships. Chinese and Japanese people look similar but have different languages, cultures and DNA. Black people and African people only share skin complexion. Just as there are different types of European people.
@@morreg09 Half true and half false.. The false part is Africans not selling their own kind. Enemy tribes would sell their captured into slavery.
Nicely done
Thaaaaanks :)
good video 🤙
Thanks
There is a movie made in 1993 about a black woman who was a model. On this island “working” and the ancestors snatched her back in time. Powerful movie!
Edit: the movie is “Sankofa”
I will watch it
It makes me sick hearing this. This is a place I'd never want to tour.
dude that vids cool man i want to go on a trip somewhere sometime soon lol
amazing places around the world
Agreeeee
Vengeance is mine
no
Every time I see this I feel angry and I shed tears from what they did to my people, today those of us born in other Countries with a white mans name still don't and will never know who we really are. I bet the government knows exactly who our people are by our DNA and will never tell us.
Most black American people are finding out through genealogy that we aren't African. We trace back to native Americans that were shipped to west Africa or the earliest native American tribes here.... Culturally we have plenty of African roots of course, but history has misplaced so much of our information, and it turns out it's on purpose.... I'll drop a link from someone who does educationally based historically documented research on topics just like this.
(Edit)
I just noticed how old this post was but I'll drop the link anyway. th-cam.com/video/LkL1NCMXYEQ/w-d-xo.html
(Just another perspective on things)
Goree is BS.... th-cam.com/video/2AFMybnp7jk/w-d-xo.html
😢
most of our names aint white, but middle easter, specially in the US, also, every single ppl in the world went throw slavery, how do you think the Roman empire operated, or chineses... or the greeks, egyptians, sumerias, persians, aztecs.... etc...
Nice video!!
Thanks
Indeed
Very good video indeed
Obama also has a plaque saying when he visited the slave castle in Ghana. He didn’t fight for blacks or Africans so why did he visit all the slave ports?
Thankx for the comment
First, Africans are blacks! I know I'm black; I know I'm African American. Second, Obama was not the president of Black people, he was the President of the USA. Why did you have such foolish expectations of him.
obama doesnt exist mate, its just A I
Sad story about the island. Just 1 of countless others that went on for 100s of years. Revelation 13:10 will be the day of redemption.
Where's the revelation that stop black people from getting tortured for hundreds of years 🤔
What is revelation ?
The comment means the day redemption happens some will go to god ans for everyone else they will have to answer for their sins such as doing this selling people...
@@boryangkim8061 revelation is the last book of the holy Bible.
Ruben Hernandez Yeah? Where was this "day of redemption" 400 years ago? Was your god taking a nap? Maybe on vacation?
Doesn't t everyone know that we all come from Africa , so I guess we were all black at some point .
no, just wrong
The music is a bit distracting
I love the beat
natalia muñoz sanchez so do I!

Its hard to see that people still live on that island. So much death and suffering that happened long ago, what if that shit was haunted??
@Mercedes Sanchez Rodriguez de Guzmán 2021 every fucking country is tourist place now
The ppl who live in that island they live in paradise. Been there is awsome, no cars, living from turist, nice weather....
Good travel video, everyone should go there this summer and visit it
Cheers
Humanity...just isn’t.
Amaizing video, good for the turism of the island
Thanks
They need to teach this in school
They do
Fr ? I never heard it
They do
Same things goin on today with little boys and little girls all over the globe. 😢
Correct
Who does this sound like ? Gen. 15:13, Acts 7:6 & Deut. 28:68. Process of elimination.......Rev. 2:9.
Is that the bible ???
@@boryangkim8061 yes.
It's amazing that noone understands this.
@Russell Stone oh i understand exactly what youre saying
@Mercedes Sanchez Rodriguez de Guzmán It's from the Bible, if you don't have one, you can google them, ex. Gen. 15:13. are you from Puerto Rican ? If so, then i have something else for you.
Nice

I just found out this were my ancestors came from to america
you should go there and visit it
So your saying if I go there with 1000 US dollars I can have 10 maids and a tour guide touring people in my home while I get my feet rubbed jubilantly?🤔
$
Pretty much. I went to Senegal in 93. I was 11 and had 5,000 USD. I went to the travel angency for currency exchange and they were just counting out money and stapling it together. I left there with 2 brown bags of money. Being 11 at the time and unaware of how much money I had, I nearly started a riot outside of our hotel by giving a few homeless people money. I had all these stacks of stapled money and it was taking to long to undo the staples so I ended up giving out a few whole stapled stacks and the next morning you would've thought that a rock star was staying at the hotel. It was no less than 50 of them lined up sleeping shoulder to shoulder right outside of the main entrance. Our tour guide then changed the itinerary for the day and i ended up in some village where i was convinced that I would be saving an entire village by buying into their chicken farm (looked like an old deserted warehouse) lol. I ended up giving them about a quater bag of money and signed some contract (i think it was in French) and never saw that place or money again lol
Wtf kind of life are u living buddy
@@acarter9036 cool story😏
@@randomhiphop5055 nothing out of the ordinary. Grew up "upper-lower" class aka "hood rich". My aunt was cool with the principal. I was in Black Male Achievement (program for at risk kids) The program director was going to Africa with a study group. I wanted to go. The principal made it a field trip. The school board stopped it at the last minute because it was on the news. My family took up collections at work and church to pay for the trip. I ended up with enough money to buy toys for the kids i might encounter, new clothes for the trip and 5000 dollars to take with me. No it's not a normal experience but I have pictures of it all. The bags of money in the pictures too.
Buena music

YES. ISLAMIC SLAVE TRADE WAS HORRIFIC!
Agree, is something not many people talk about it ir even know about it but the trades of slaves to the middle east were far mkre brutal than to the west
ANY slave trade is horrific.
True

@Roger Martin The American slave trade was controlled by Portuguese Jews.
