The "Ark of Return" at #UnitedNations Headquarters in #NYC is a permanent memorial to honour the victims of slavery and the slave trade. Designed by an American architect of Haitian descent, the memorial pays tribute to the courage of enslaved people, abolitionists and unsung heroes who helped end the oppression of slavery. It also reminds visitors of the complete history of slavery, urging them to acknowledge its legacy and to heighten awareness of the current dangers of racism, prejudice and slavery’s lingering consequences. On Tuesday's #RememberSlavery Day, we pay homage to the victims of slavery and all who fought the injustice of the slave trade. 📷: UN Social Media / Elif Gulec #GlobalGoals #FightRacism #StandUp4HumanRights
