Celebrating Black Culture!

Black culture is celebrated throughout the North America but Africa as well during the #BlackHistoryMonth, in important period to recognize the accomplishments and contribution of Black Culture throughout the world.

MBarou Jojo has visited her native Goree Island near the coasts of Dakar in Senegal. She visited the house of slave and the picture above has been taken by the Statues and plaque at the "Maison des Esclaves" Memorial. The House of Slaves in the Goree Island has been built in the late 18th century and become a place of pilgrimage for many Africans and African Americans. There's been much as 15 million slaves exported from there and from which most of African American ancestry originated from. 

A collection dedicated to the Goree Island and House of Slaves to remember the past though most of the art is oriented towards African culture in all its beauty besides slavery but is a moment of African history we need to own by reminiscing this dark period of Human History.
