This original newspaper contains an inside page, long detailed account of GOREE ISLAND, home of the present-day "House of Slaves" and its "door of no return". Interesting report from nearly 225 years ago about GOREE ISLAND, then a center of the Atlantic Slave Trade. "Gorée Island" is a 45-acre island located 1.2 mi at sea from the main harbour of Dakar, SENEGAL and is famous as a destination for people interested in the Atlantic slave trade.Gorée is known as the location of the House of Slaves built by an Afro-French Métis family about 1780–1784. The House of Slaves is one of the oldest houses on the island. It is now used as a tourist destination to show the horrors of the slave trade throughout the Atlantic world.The House of Slaves and its Door of No Return is a museum and memorial to the victims of the Atlantic slave trade on Gorée Island, 3 km off the coast of the city of Dakar, Senegal. Its museum, which was opened in 1962 and curated until Boubacar Joseph Ndiaye's death in 2009, is said to memorialize the final exit point of the slaves from Africa. While historians differ on how many African slaves were actually held in this building, as well as the relative importance of Gorée Island as a point on the Atlantic slave trade, visitors from Africa, Europe, and the Americas continue to make it an important place to remember the human toll of African slavery.
