This celebration on 23 August 2007 aims to remind the international community of the tragedy of slavery, of its persisting consequences for modern societies, and of the role played by both enslaved Africans and abolitionists in bringing to an end this crime against humanity. The day was planned following the launch of the Unesco Slave Route Project in 1994. More information is available at www.portal.unesco.org.
