Graham Young thank you for THIS BIG SHARE! 190 years SINCE A COLONIAL POWER STARTED TO ABOLISH SLAVERY! I watched the news with dismay last night as #African #Countries are / have been #embracing new untried / untested #ColonialPowers. The #Russian #Orthodox #Church for example (new Scam Artists); untried / untested armies recruited from Russian Jails. So Sub-Saharan Africa WANT TO PUNNISH COUNTRIES THAT WERE SLAVE TRADING; BUT THEN STOPPED IT for Countries who I know (and our family has First Hand Experience) are extremely corrupt! My late father-in-law met Mr Putin then Lord Mayor of St. Petersburg and or Russian Law Firms to "business" Post Perestroika. He did this as a favour for a US Law Firm. He had a passion for Russian Art / The Arts. His findings were that it was so corrupt that he could not support or suggest they did business together! Now what would have changed in 30 years? In fact it has probably got worse. My message to African Churches pushing out the Catholic Church and Companies with far far more stable balanced Company Head Offices where THEY DO HAVE THE RULE OF LAW: yes they have had their problems; but be careful what you wish for. As for getting Russian (other) Protection; be careful what you wish for. Those Colonial Powers have changed significantly. A major major irony: Slavery was abolished by UK in 1833. The United States of America's Civil War (1863 - 65) WAS about something that had already been outlawed by UK; which the silly Americans ARE STILL FIGHTING ABOUT 158.0 years later in which they slaughtered 1.0 million of their own kind DOES NOT SEEM TO LET UP! They are still at each other; not militarily but aided and abetted by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation; Creating News to Sell Advertising!
August 1 is the anniversary of the promulgation of the Abolition of Slavery Act in the British Empire. This is the single biggest step forward for human rights in human history. It led to the outlawing of slavery everywhere. I'll be celebrating at breakfast: https://lnkd.in/gPv6zXNz https://lnkd.in/g_KyTDHt

Imagine reading a long, intense novel. The main conflict is resolved towards the end, but you don’t reach the final chapter until much later. This last chapter contains crucial information that ties everything together, providing closure and a deeper understanding of the story. Without reading this chapter, you can't fully grasp the significance of the resolution. Similarly, while the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, it wasn't until June 19, 1865, that the last enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom. Juneteenth represents that final chapter—when the promise of emancipation truly reached all enslaved African Americans, providing closure and a fuller realization of freedom. Just as the final chapter of a book is essential for complete understanding, Juneteenth is crucial for acknowledging the true end of slavery in the United States. Watch the video and pass it along to someone who wants to be and do better. https://lnkd.in/eRBvTm3E

Today, as we commemorate Juneteenth, we honor a pivotal moment in our history—the day when the last enslaved individuals in the United States learned of their freedom. This day is not just a celebration of emancipation but also a solemn reminder of the long road to true freedom and equality that still lies ahead. Juneteenth marks a significant victory in the fight against the deep-seated injustices of slavery. Yet, it also serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battles against modern forms of bondage, including human trafficking. This heinous crime continues to affect millions around the world, stripping individuals of their freedom and dignity, much like slavery did over a century ago. As we reflect on the profound significance of Juneteenth, we must also reaffirm our commitment to ending all forms of human exploitation. The abolition of slavery was a crucial step, but our journey is far from over. Human trafficking remains one of the most severe global issues of our time, demanding our attention and action. Let us draw inspiration from the resilience and courage of those who fought for freedom and carried that message of freedom on Juneteenth to ensure ALL people knew that they were free. Let us channel that same energy and relentless determination into the fight against human trafficking, ensuring that freedom and justice are not merely ideals, but realities for ALL. #Juneteenth #freedomforall #eradicatinghumantrafficking
