Goree Island is located off the Western African coast and was where slaves were taken after capture to be put on ships bound for Cuba, Brazil, and the United States. Photograph taken during Joint Task Force Liberia. Approximately 1000 residents live on Goree Island, and are not allowed to change the outside of any structure, in order to keep it as authentic as possible
