Heritage

 3/25 International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade

Acknowledge the past. 

Repair the present. 

Build a future of dignity and justice.

~~~

The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act was passed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 1807.

The United Nations resolved to make March 25, 2007 an acknowledgement of the 200th anniversary of the abolishment of the enslavement trade, and then chose March 25 thereafter as a yearly remembrance of the terrible violations of human rights.

Personal Observations;

So much of the foundations of the United States government and society bear the markings of using enslaved peoples to make this country what it is today.

Watched a television program where famous people are given their family trees, and one successful man was so excited to find out about his relatives...until the researcher explained that his last name is the name of the plantation owner who paid for and enslaved his ancestors.

The blood in his veins came from people who were trafficked.

It broke that man's heart, and any who say that slavery is a thing of the past aren't aware of how damaging that history continues to affect us...ALL OF US.

There is anger.

There is pain.

And the inequality continues.

What a Character

 It's PO'Monday!

March, 2015, and Celestial Paddy O'Malley was enjoying the pale sunshine.

He did NOT like my attempt to take a pic of the neighbor's cat, however.

Paddy: "All eyes on ME, thankuverramuch!"

Of course, Pommy...of course...
