On the same day, Dominica observed its 42nd independence anniversary with the National Reparations Committee (NRC) and the island’s Kalinago First People using the occasion to reiterate the Caribbean governments’ 2016 demand for Reparations from Europe for Slavery and Native Genocide – and centuries of colonial exploitation.
Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves in the President’s Chair in Kingstown, UWI Vice Chancellor Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, speaking from Jamaica, led a round-table panel discussion that strongly urged the international community to start taking concrete steps to ensure Reparations is finally delivered in what’s left of the 21st Century. On November 3, while American voters were busy deciding President Donald Trump’s future at the White House, the United Nations (UN) Security Council held an unprecedented Open Debate on ‘Peace-Building and Sustaining Peace – Contemporary Drivers of Conflict and Insecurity.’
November 2020 was a Reparations month to remember.
