Goree photos 5






The first photo is of me and Michael standing in the passageway that was supposed to lead out to the ships. It feels weird to post this photo, but I'm going to. I guess part of me feels like it is exhibitionist or exploitative, but I also feel it's important for me to know that I was there, and for others to see it (the passageway). I'm not going to worry about it, though. It is what it is.

The second photo is of shackles and chains; self-explanatory.

The third photo is of the dual-staircase again, but from above.

The fourth photo is of the statue monument outside the museum. I don't know if you can see very well in the photo, but the main has broken free from the chains. I thought the light on his face was particularly beautiful at this moment.
