Noo Covers: A note from Donte' Mcguire- Try Something New

To see the dungeons and cells and to hear the history from our guide of the horrific conditions the slaves (of course one or more of them being my ancestors) has impacted me in ways I may never fully comprehend. One young man, who I believe was from Europe, broke down into tears as he took one last look at the gate/window that leads out of the "room of no return" (pictured above). Just to see the small size of the exit, you know how malnourished the men and women were as they left. Lying on the floor were flower arrangements, commonly found at grave sites, said to be brought by visitors to pay their respects and say "never again!" It was also in that room that some slaves saw their relatives of the opposite sex for the first time after months of being held in the castle.
