In Senegal's Saint-Louis, traces of slave-trading past fade away

Source Summary

A deteriorating two-century-old building in Saint-Louis, Senegal stands as evidence of the island's role in the transatlantic slave trade, through which tens of thousands of Africans passed. Located in northern Senegal between the Atlantic Ocean and the Senegal River, the island remains largely unmentioned in slave trade history despite its significance as a trading hub, and physical traces of this past are rapidly disappearing.
