1873 - 1 JULY, ANNIVERSARY OF THE EMANCIPATION OF THE ENSLAVED - NECKLACE IN GOLD

AS OUR ROOTS LIE IN SURINAM, TODAY WE COMMEMORATE THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EMANCIPATION OF THE ENSLAVED IN SURINAM AND FORMER DUTCH ANTILLES.

WHILE SLAVERY ENDED IN 1863 ON PAPER, IT ENDED PRACTICALLY IN 1873. AND EVEN TODAY OUR SOCIETY HAS US IN SHACKLES WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND IDENTITY.

THIS IS OUR STATEMENT.
