The UN's International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition reminds people of the tragedy of slave trade.
On the 23rd August the United Nations invites people all over the world to remember those who suffered under the harsh and brutal Slave Trade.
In August 1791 an uprising began in Santo Domingo (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The slave rebellions weakened the Caribbean colonial system and eventually lead to the abolishing slavery and giving the islands its independence.
