The concrete platform over a cobblestone plaza in Massangano represents a site of historical significance for millions of African Americans, marking the point of no return for many enslaved Africans.
Historians assert that Angola was a major source of enslaved Africans sent to the United States, yet this pivotal history remains largely overlooked by both Angolans and African Americans.
In an effort to change the narrative, Angola's government is partnering with international organizations to promote Massangano, a key site linked to the transatlantic slave trade.
Angola's president has prioritized infrastructure improvement to ensure access to Massangano, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and preserving the region's historical legacy.
