On August 1, 2024, London is hosting the annual Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March. This notable event, now marking its tenth anniversary, is unfolding in Brixton, South London. Marchers are proceeding from Windrush Square, advocating for reparations and paying tribute to the African ancestors who endured the horrors of slavery1. The march is a powerful demonstration of solidarity and remembrance, with participants calling for justice and recognition of the historical and ongoing impacts of slavery and colonization.

The event is not just a march but a significant part of a broader movement for reparatory justice. It includes various activities such as educational workshops, cultural performances, and moments of silence to honor the memory of those who suffered. The Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of the African diaspora, and it continues to inspire and mobilize communities towards achieving reparations and justice.
