World Travels with Ron Brown

Around the World with Ron Brown. Senegal is the most westward point in Africa. Explored by the Portuguese in the 15th century, it was a major port for treasures such as gold, ivory, spices, and ebony. After the Portuguese, the French built the cities of Dakar and St. Louis. Even now, these cities reflect the history of the European influence on Africa in forts, palaces, mosques, churches and markets. FOL 2:30 p.m. (Please note early start time)
