After the shenanigans at Westminster Abbey yesterday (27/03/07), I re-opened somewhere deep inside of me questions about slavery. I cannot express in mere words the feeling that goes through me when I think about the atrocities committed against my ancestors. And to think, nothing really has come of it. How many people died during slave trade? Is there any memorial specifically in their honour? Why do people keep saying that it is not in living memory? Why are we celebrating W. Wilberforce? Is being wronged made right purely because it was a long time ago? Why will someone parade before you wealth that was gotten through your ancestor's wealth? Questions, Questions, Questions. So many of them. We need answers. We need an apology at least.
Why am I writing this? Well one word... REPARATIONS. I'll come to that topic soon. Stay Tuned. Spread the word.
