Juffureh is a historic town on the banks of the Gambia River in the eastern part of the West African country of The Gambia, made famous by Alex Haley's best-selling novel Roots. As one of the major transit points for the African slave trade in the 18th century, it was the departure point for countless black trafficked people, and the town's slave trade sites and museums bear witness to that heavy history. Jubilee has not only attracted African-Americans from all over the world to trace their roots, but has also become a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved traditional village architecture and pristine scenery along the River Gambia. Today, the town's blend of historical memory and natural beauty is an important window into the Gambia's colonial history and African culture.
