Goree Island (Ile de Goree) is a small island just off the coast of Dakar, Senegal's capital city. Goree Island is a big tourist attraction because of its history as a major slave-trading center. It's an important destination for African-Americans in particular who come to pay their respects and reflect upon their ancestors' past. In fact the Maison des Esclaves (House of Slaves) on the island has become a place of pilgrimage for everyone to reflect upon the horrors of the slave-trade and remember the millions of souls who died because of it. In the world today, a small number of black marketeers deal in prostitution and child adoptions, but the largest source of slavery persists by global entrenpeneurial despots, who recruit children and imporverished workers at paltry wages without displacing them from their homelands.
