UN International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade

Mar 25, 2022 | 12:00am - 11:59pm

The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is one of few days that honors the memory of the millions whose lives were interrupted and disrupted by the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This service creates space for the honoring of many whose names are unknown, individuals who were not funeralized or ritualized. The service was designed as a time for lament as we remember the resilience, courage, resistance, ingenuity and rebellion of Africans who were brought forcefully into the Americas. Through song, dance, poetry and prayers – we will remember. Scroll to More Information for Resources.
