May Peace Prevail On Earth

INTERNATIONAL DAY
FOR THE REMEMBRANCE
OF THE SLAVE TRADE AND ITS ABOLITION
August 23

On this day humanity's achievement in abolishing the slave trade is celebrated. This year is being observed as International Year to Commemorate the Struggle Against Slavery and Its Abolition.

"In deciding to proclaim the 23rd of August of every year International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, UNESCO wished to inscribe in the memory of all peoples a tragedy that has been forgotten and little known and pay tribute to the slaves' relentless struggle for freedom. The uprising that took place in the island of Santo Domingo (present day Haiti and Dominican Republic) on the night of the 22nd to the 23rd of August 1791 shook the foundations of slavery to the core and marked the start of the process that led to the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade." -- Koichiro Matsuura
