Our tour guides were Black people, and they did a great job of explaining the lives of enslaved people and the economics connected with it. I've also visited the slave castles in Ghana and Senegal and had good experiences. For me, it's necessary to see these things for my career but I find value in visiting these places and pouring libation/praying for the ancestors. It's a form of cleansing and building my historical memory.
