EnglishDescription of the side eventThis event explores the lasting impact of slavery on
identity and the need for its restoration among the descendants of enslaved Africans. Enslavers stripped Africans of their names, languages, and cultural ties to enforce control and suppress resistance. This erasure disrupted unity, self-worth, heritage, and generational connections.
Reclaiming our global identity as Afrodescendants is essential for rebuilding a shared sense of belonging, pride, and purpose. By embracing this identity, we can foster unity and work toward self-determination. Join us in this critical conversation on reclaiming identity and collective action towards reparatory justice.
