“The Conference on the Bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Global Dialogue is another opportunity for Afrikan people--both on the continent and in the diaspora-- to transform ideas into concrete results-based action plans that, through a strategic process, will dismantle the structural, social and economic inequalities between the white and Black worlds.

“The consciousness of the Black world that is building around the reparations issue makes it impossible for Europeans to continue their myth about white superiority.
