Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition

That date was chosen by the adoption of resolution 29 C/40 by UNESCO to memorialize the transatlantic slave trade at its 29th session.
National Museums Liverpool and the black community in Liverpool have held events to commemorate Slavery Remembrance Day since 1999.
