London, UK. 18th August 2018. The annual National Memorial event in Trafalgar Square remembers and honours the victims of the African Holocaust/Transatlantic Slave Trade and promoted International Slavery Remembrance Day, 23rd August. The event called for Africans to celebrate their identity and to remember their ancestors, and began with libations remembering many black heroes. This year's memorial in particular honoured and remembered enslaved Africans both past and present in Libya and other parts of North Africa. Speakers talked about the discrimination in the UK education system and the event called for reparations to be made by the UK and other countries whose prosperity is largely based on a slave colonial past, and for an end to the plundering by UK and multi-national corporations of the wealth of Africa, and in particular its mineral wealth, still exploited by many London-based companies.
