Healing the wounds associated
with four centuries of enslavement is one of the main challenges facing
societies today. The harmful legacies of the Transatlantic Slave Trade
continue to affect inter-personal and international relations as communities
all over the world struggle to cope with the aftermath of this crime
committed against humanity. Africans on the continent and in the Diaspora
are pushing for the West to begin to loosen the shackles of poverty
and economic distress that continue to hold back the descendants of
enslaved peoples, within their continent and in the Diaspora. It is
only by addressing what happened, and by tackling the racial inequalities
and hostilities that can be traced back to enslavement, that we can
begin together to create more morally acceptable societies whose benefits
can be shared with people of all colours and cultures.
