“Si on m’avait dit que je prendrais un jour la décision de venir vivre en Afrique, j’aurais juré que non. J’aimais beaucoup mon travail dans une banque à New York et je n’ai jamais eu envie de voyager en dehors des États-Unis,... Mais quand j’ai appris qu’un groupe s’organisait pour visiter l’Afrique, j’ai changé de projet pour saisir l’occasion de venir voir d’où avaient été déportés nos ancêtres. Je me suis donc inscrit pour visiter la maison des esclaves sur l’île de Gorée. J’avais déjà entendu parler de cette île grâce à la série Racines. C’était un film basé sur l’histoire familiale d’un écrivain qui racontait comment un de ses ancêtres avait été capturé en Afrique pour être vendu comme esclave en Amérique. Ce film avait donné envie à beaucoup d’Afro-Américains de connaître l’histoire de leurs ancêtres.”
