Never again ! Anti-slavery Monument in Albreda/Juffureh, Gambia

 

 

This anti-slavery monument facing the Gambia river is situated in Albreda / Juffureh, a village, that is connected to Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African, captured as an adolescent and sold into slavery in the United States.

The novel "Roots" follows his life and the lives of his descendants in the U.S. down to the author Alex Haley. The novel was followed by a hugely popular television adaptation.
