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 is an observance day occurring every 25th of March, according to the 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 about continuing prejudice and racism in our communities, relics of the slave trade.
