On March 25th of this year, United Nation Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon acknowledged that, “the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was one of the most horrific tragedies of modern history.” On that day, the United Nations unveiled a permanent memorial in New York City dedicated to victims of slavery and of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, called “ Ark of Return “.
