Every year on August 23, the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is commemorated to honour the victims of one of history’s darkest chapters. First marked in 1998 in Haiti and in 1999 on Gorée Island, Senegal, the day calls for reflecting on the causes, methods, and consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. It also highlights the global interactions and cultural exchanges between Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean born out of this painful history. The day forms part of UNESCO’s intercultural initiative “The Routes of Enslaved Peoples.”
