Guest Blog: What is the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade?
The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade occurs every 25th of March, established by a United Nations (UN) resolution in December 2007.
On this day, people from all walks of life honor and remember the millions of people captured in Africa, transported by sea, and sold as slaves in Europe and the Americas. This global commemoration also reminds people that prejudice and racism continues in our communities, relics of the slave trade.
