About this episode
The United Nations recently passed a resolution condemning the transatlantic slave trade as the worst crime against humanity, with 123 countries voting in favor. Ghanas president proposed the measure, backed by the African Union and Caribbean Community leaders. The resolution highlights the four-century enslavement of Africans by European powers, which profited from the trade and contributed to ongoing issues like inequality and instability. The vote, while not legally binding, marks a significant step in the pursuit of reparatory justice. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
