Today is #EmancipationDay , a national holiday here in Barbados that commemorates the day that slavery ended in the British Empire, including Canada.
This statue is of a man known as Bussa, who led the largest slave revolt in Barbados nearly 20 years before emancipation.
#EmancipationDay is the outcome of struggle, resistance and sacrifice; standing for freedom, liberation and the resilience of a people.
BREAKING: Trudeau and Sophie announce they are separating.
History has a funny way of repeating itself. Trudeau's parents famously separated in 1977. I recently made a music video about Trudeau's mother.
The irony of this happening on #EmancipationDay is not lost on Zoltan.

Slavery did exist in Canada.
#EmancipationDay is a reminder of Canada's shameful role in slavery that must never be repeated. This is why we must fight anti-Black racism and eliminate all forms of marginalization and oppression against Black people. Antiracism work must continue.
Happy Emancipation Day, Jamaica! π
Letβs celebrate freedom and the
unbreakable spirit of our people, support
each other, uplift our communities, and
strive for unity and equality.π€ππ
