Meanwhile Germany have paid compensation for their Hitler's holocaust against the Jews which saw to the death of six million Jewish people. But Africa, which lost more than 40 million of her people to slavery, some of who were dumped into the Atlantic Ocean alive to their watery deaths by drowning, either because they rebelled on the ship or were unfortunate enough to still be en-route America and Europe when slavery was abolished, has not received a dime in compensation. Instead of turning these ships around and returning these Africans back to Africa, those bloody white slave merchants just emptied their ship's slave cargoes right into the ocean.
ICHEOKU says is convinced that the last story of the Atlantic slavery has never been told as the perpetrators of that damnable evil act are still trying so hard to keep certain aspects of that harried experience sealed and out of being discovered. But as time goes, they will have no choice over the matter and the reality will dawn on everybody. Anyway, congratulations to African Americans for finally securing June 19th as a federal holiday and national day of remembrance for eventually becoming a freed people in the United States of America on June 19th 1865. Now, we all can look forward to not waking up so early in the morning every June 19th to rush off to work and celebrate such a historic day of commemoration.
Although a lot more still needs to be done towards a final healing for the pain and suffering caused by that abominable act of slavery, which was brought about by crass greed of white people in search of free labor, who started poaching able bodied Africans before formalizing the Atlantic slavery trade. The good news however is that the future as is discernible from the progress so far, promises a brighter experience. It assures that a day will come when reparation will be paid and compensation made for the damage caused through slavery. But we shall see and while we wait, remain thankful for the Congress and Joe Biden for finally making right on this with a bill passed and signed into law making Juneteenth a national holiday. Happy Juneteenth folks!
