More than 80 nations came together to demand what has been owed for centuries. Reparations.
A 19-point reparations framework was adopted at a landmark conference in Ghana, calling on all institutions that participated in the transatlantic slave trade to offer "full, formal and unconditional apologies as a foundational step towards reconciliation, trust-building and reparatory justice."
This wasn't a protest. This was a formal global framework, built on a United Nations resolution adopted in March 2026 declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans the gravest crime against humanity.
A reenactment of the transatlantic slave trade was held at Christiansborg Castle, a former slave trading post in Accra, as Ghana's president and the prime minister of Barbados laid wreaths at the very site where so much pain began.
