Remembrance is Powerful:
Reflecting on The Haitian Revolution, its legacy and the reparations challenge this poses for people of African heritage and humanity today
In conversation with University of Repair's Professor Gus John, Esther Stanford Xosei and Annabelle Woghiren.
On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, in Saint Domingue (today the Republic of Haiti), saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. It is against this background that the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is commemorated on 23 August each year.
To highlight this significant day, join us at 6:30pm for a conversation with Professor Gus John, Esther Stanford Xosei and Annabelle Woghiren, discussing reparations, independence and the diaspora.
In partnership with University of Repair, Black Cultural Archives are hosting this important inter-generational conversation concerning matters of liberation in action, our ability to draw strength from our history and how to use that knowledge to restore and repair ourselves.
The conversation will be led by Anabelle Woghiren who is a young activist, Tik Tok commentator and Human Rights and Social Responsibility educator.
The session welcomes the audience and especially young people to participate, ask questions and share their knowledge, so that we may grow together.
Please arrive promptly.
