Lest We Forget ©️Dawn Minott |International Day for the Remembrance of the Transatlantic Slave Trade

enslaved Africans kept at this holding dungeon were taken through this door, loaded to ships and taken across the Atlantic never to see home again

Lest we forget:

Retraced ancestral path

Standing in the “door of no return”

The beauty of the vista before me obliterated

I see instead anguish of fore-parents

Shackled, stolen into slavery

Ark of Return”—a sculpture commissioned by the United Nations to commemorate the end of slave trade (UN NY Headquarters) to coincide with the International Day of remembrance for the victims of slavery
