The once-controversial bronze statue is a popular attraction among locals as well as visitors. It features a man, woman, and child pointing, a symbol of renewed African hope.

Independence Place, the heart of the city, you will pass by the presidential palace and the main cathedral. Then get to the Museum of Black Civilization.

Each year, about 50 female students from the 11 regions of Senegal are given the opportunity to attend the school for the rest of their high school years.
