Ouidah, Benin

Ouidah museum is actually the last standing edifice that represents the story of the slave trade amongst the major participants in the transatlantic slave transactions. It also gives you insight on the history of the ouidah people. One remarkable thing that caught my attention is the manner in which the king of Dahomey treated their subjects before the advent of the slave merchants. I heard the African story in Ouidah and saw statutes and images to recreate this story. It was an amazing experience. Very inspirational, reminding us of the past for a brighter future.
