UNESCO a nombra dia 23 di augustus e Dia Internacional pa e Conmemoracion di e Comercio den esclavo y su abolicion.
Esaki ta locual e Museo Maritimo Nacional di Inglatera ta informa nos di e dia aki.
“What is International Slavery Remembrance Day?
Between the 1400s and 1800s, 12-15 million men, women and children were forcibly transported from Africa to the Americas.
This day stands as a reminder of the bravery, courage, resilience and determination of enslaved African people who continuously fought for their freedom.
It is a time to remember that people fought and died to establish their own freedom and liberation from the tyranny of enslavement.
The day also raises the contemporary legacies of transatlantic slavery, which are manifested in the continued racism and prejudice against Black and Caribbean communities.
UNESCO selected the 23 August to mark the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. 23 August was the day that self-liberated enslaved people on the island of Saint Domingue (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic) rose up against French colonial rule, and played a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.”
Dia 23 di augustus ta di gran importancia pasobra e ta e dia cu e esclavonan na Haiti den aña 1795 a cuminsa nan lucha pa libertad. E pais aki tabata e prome pais den mundo unda e esclavo Africano a haya nan libertad.
