Rockmond Dunbar held a successful meeting with President Jammeh on Friday, and according to his handlers the Hollywood movie freak is going to the ancestral home of Kunta Kinteh in Juffureh for a good part of Saturday.
While in The Gambia, Rockmond Dunbar will try to learn more about the untold story of the country's rich cultural history. His visit to Juffureh this morning is expected to give the Hollywood man the unique opportunity to see what is left in a settlement that was by all indications a major transit point for slaves during the infamous Atlantic Slave Trade. On my first visit there some three years ago, I saw the reactions of the people when we reached Juffureh - slavery has indeed affected the continent, commented one of the Black American visitors upon arrival at the site.
