It's thought-provoking how you emphasize the symbolic weight of L’Île de Gorée, regardless of the specifics of its history.

Your point about the enduring need to remember these places, even if their stories have layers of myth or uncertainty, feels especially relevant today.

Sometimes, the historical narrative doesn’t have to be crystal clear for us to honor the emotions and lessons it invokes.

The fact that the museum also draws attention to present-day human rights violations creates a powerful bridge between past and present, something many tourist sites could aspire to.

Thanks for sharing.
