Pope Leon XIV's Unprecedented Apology for Atlantic Slavery

Creating community through reading and writing histories of slavery, the Atlantic slave trade, and global Africa, past and present.

araujohistorian.substack.com

Unprecedented apology by Pope Leo XIV for the role of the Catholic Church in supporting slavery. The Catholic Church was the LARGEST single slave owner in the Americas. Made its wealth from slavery. John Paul II rehearsed a rambling apology in Gorée Island back in the 1990s #slaveryarchive

Esclavage : des demandes de réparations en souffrance depuis le XVIIIe siècle Par @sabrinakassa.bsky.social‬

Esclavage : des demandes de réparations en souffrance depuis le XVIIIe siècle

L’ouvrage de référence « Réparations » d’Ana Lucia Araujo retrace l’histoire des demandes d’indemnités matérielles et financières du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Un éclairage précieux à l’aune du discours d’Emmanuel Macron, à l’occasion des 25 ans de la loi Taubira jeudi 21 mai, annoncé « sans tabou » sur le sujet.

Lors du 25e anniversaire de la Loi Taubira, j'ai écris une tribune en français dans le journal français Le Monde à propos des réparations pour l'esclavage et la colonisation, notamment Haïti et l'Afrique occidentale. www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl... #slaveryarchive
