Description
Located on the outskirts of Dakar, the town of Thiaroye still bears the scars of a 1944 massacre of dozens of African soldiers by French colonial troops. At the Thiaroye 44 secondary school, the pupils are interested in this historic event, which is not included in the school curriculum. "We'd really like the Senegalese authorities to think about incorporating the history of Thiaroye 44 into the curriculum," says Aminata Tamba, a history teacher at the school. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
