The transatlantic slave trade is an indelible stain on the conscience of humanity. For more than four centuries, enslaved Africans were kidnapped and trafficked; dehumanized, abused and exploited. The depth and scale of the cruelty, inhumanity, and depravity of this practice is incomprehensible. So, too, is the suffering, fear, pain and misery endured by those millions of people exploited for profit. Today, we reflect on families ripped apart and communities decimated. We remember the women, children, and men forced to work in agonizing conditions, savagely punished, and deprived of their dignity and human rights.
