We are moving today from Dakar to Goree Island to film and photograph that arguably best-known icon of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Captain Bill Pinkney will be participating in some of the activities left in the local schedule of events after cancellation of Amistad's arrival.
We are planning to visit a local school on Goree Island, present the story of Amistad and try to get students involved in our Classroom Voyages Program.
Our short scouting visit there made us all fascinated by the island, and it's history – we will try to share it. The little dock, perfect for mooring the Freedom Schooner Amistad, must await her next visit.... Comments

It's ufortunate that the Amistad was not able to make it to Goree island, but you are still getting the Amistad message to many people out there. :-)
