Echoes of freedom: The night that sparked a revolution against slavery
On the night of 22 to 23 August 1791, an uprising in Saint Domingue (now Haiti) marked a pivotal moment in the fight against the transatlantic slave trade. To honor this event, the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is observed annually on August 23. This day was first commemorated in Haiti (1998) and on Gorée Island, Senegal (1999). It aims to keep the memory of the slave trade alive, encouraging reflection on its historical causes, methods, and consequences while fostering dialogue among Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean.
