Writing from the United Kingdom, a concerned reader beleives the future generation may never forgive us for being careless with what we call cultural heritage. Having visited a number of monuments and places of historical significance in India, I know full well what our letter writer Barbara is talking about. She's reacting to the sorry state of the so-called Slave House in Janjang Bureh, in the Central River Region of The Gambia.
'I do so agree. Here in the UK we have a very strong heritage culture. Some may say it is not worth it but it so is! I recently visited Malta, where I used to live many, many years ago and was so pleased to see that they too are developing their historical buildings and helping to preserve the island's great and varied history. Afterall what are we but the inheritors of our ancestry however grim and violent this may have been. If we forget from where and whence we came, how are the future generations going to learn anything from it. I wish you luck with your campaign.'
