Slavery. One of humanity\u2019s greatest and most enduring tragedies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is ever present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But we can always know that we can\u2019t change our past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While centuries may have passed, the impacts and echoes of the slave trade carry on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People on both sides of the Atlantic constantly are reminded by what happened.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only the people near the Atlantic but people always all over the world<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are asked, almost instructed, to remember and to rejoice that we can celebrate our legacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our ancestors and their descendants, lived through tremendous brutality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But all of them have made tremendous contributions to all societies in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake, the horrors and the beauty of that period will forever influence our arts our, our culture, our music, our language and our history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To ignore or to forget this legacy would be another opportunity lost.<\/p>\n<p>And it is important to constantly be reminded that we are dealing with people in a world where there has been suffering before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This year, we commemorate the 30<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the <strong>Routes of Enslaved Peoples Programme,<\/strong> a joint initiative of the Governments of Benin and Haiti.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I extend my heartfelt thanks to those Governments, to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµESCO, and to all the partners who are constantly working to shape and will shape this important programme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is a program that has helped to advance a better understanding of the impact of slavery through research and awareness raising, as well as fueled support for the initiatives to protect and promote human rights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we come together today, here at the Ark of Return, a powerful symbol of a dark legacy, let us remember the tragedies of the past, celebrate the resilience of the human spirit, and commit together, to charting a brighter path forward, in solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We should constantly build hope for the future, because humankind has an opportunity to prepare a greater future for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharon Birch, Spokesperson for the President of the General Assembly, Tel: 1 646-342-5873,
