I too visited Goree during my stay in Senegal and was deeply affected by
the house and the Senegalese man who offered a vivid explaination of the
historical role of Goree in the slave trade. The historical museum on the
island provided to perfect complement to convince me of the historical
accuracy of the alleged role of Goree in the slave trade.

Curtin's work in this area is extremely interesting and provides me
with much to re-think. I though you might be interested to know that
in 1992 Senegal issued a postal stamp to commemorate the house on
Goree.
