“That remembering is supposed to be coupled with action and activism, and marking BHM should be calling on people to not just hold a celebratory tone, but to move towards some action. —For example, to assess the policies of the different levels of government and organizations to gauge if they advance efforts to improve Black life, to advocate for policy implementation if none exists or if policies that do exist are impeding the ability of Black people to thrive, that they be changed.” - Dr. Natasha Henry-Dixon

Emancipation Day is observed on the 1st Monday in August in the English-speaking Caribbean. We honor the ancestors who rose up, rebelled, and reclaimed their freedom. We honor the ancestors who rose up, rebelled, and reclaimed their freedom.

It's a privilege to stand in solidarity with African Nova Scotian communities, to recognize and celebrate their strength and resilience, and to recommit to the urgent work of confronting anti-Black racism in all its forms. 2/2

#EmancipationDay marks the day the Slavery Abolition Act, 1833, took effect across the British Empire.
Last Friday, Kingston celebrated with speeches, music, dancing, & a community services fair. Let’s reaffirm our commitment to ending anti-Black racism and injustice.
#EmancipationDay celebrates the end of slavery in the British Empire, effective August 1, 1834 in #Canada. Canada has had continuous European-settlement skin 1608. Of those 417 years, slavery was legal for 226 years. Though not economically crucial to Canada, slavery existed.
During my Emancipation Day speech, I spoke to the enduring journey of the African diaspora.

Today is #EmancipationDay, marking the beginnings of the abolition of slavery in “Canada” in 1833. This history is not well known—I learned all about slavery in the US but didn’t even know that there’s similar history here until today. Hope you’ve learned something new too.
Happy Emancipation, Day Trinidad and Tobago. ✊🏽🇹🇹
