Description

The place we have decided on is Montego Bay, Jamaica. More specifically, Fort Montego. This was originally a British fort during the early 1800s. With this site, we can turn around its European meaning and make it known who was really important to remember for their heritage. In Montego Bay, it had the most enslaved people embarked/disembarked, as well as the majority of them were in the Caribbean in general.
