Historical Legacy of Slave Trade
Today, on International Day, August 23rd, we commemorate the anniversary of our abolition of the slave trade of Black people. It aims to document and remember the tragedy of slavery. This day is linked to the 1791 uprising in Santo Domingo (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), which played a crucial role in ending the transatlantic slave trade. Through the "Route of Slavery" project, the United Nations seeks to raise awareness in communities about the historical factors and interactions between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, as well as to combat the forgetfulness or denial of this tragedy, part of its efforts to oppose ideas that justify the system of slavery.
