Kujichagulia (Self-determination):

During the Sunday, March 5 opening ceremonies for the “From These Shores” ( www.pohgep.net/culture) exhibit at the Juffureh Slavery Museum, Hassoum Ceesay, Director General, National Centre for Arts and Culture in The Gambia, proclaimed, “This exhibit raises the museum’s standard to a new level.” The historical markers the exhibit crosses include Africanization, appearance, and internet presence.

In addition to calling the exhibit in the colonial language, English, the display is also titled in six local languages, Mandinka, Serer, Wollof Jola, Aku, and Fula. The exhibit is also titled in French, the colonial language of the neighboring sister nation Senegal. “For the first time, the museum’s exhibit has been decolonized,” declared Ceesay.
