We commemorate and celebrate Emancipation Day. Here in Barbados, there will be a day of events to mark the past and to look to the present and the future. True emancipation is physical, mental, and spiritual, and we pray for the continued liberation from any form of slavery in our world.
Today, 1 August is Emancipation Day, the day when in 1834 enslavement was ‘abolished’ across the British Empire… it took a further 4 years in 1838 for ‘full freedom’.
It’s also a reminder that whilst the former slave owners were given ‘compensation’ by the British government
