African Remembrance Day launches a year-long series of activities commemorating African victims of slavery.

Since 1995, when over 100 Africans attended the first ceremony in the UK, African Remembrance Day has focused on remembering the African victims of slavery – especially the millions who were brutalised and perished over the last 400 years in the Americas, Asia and Africa.

African Remembrance Day events have been held across the country in Bristol, Manchester and London, including the House of Commons. Since 2016, African Remembrance Day has been held in partnership with London Museum Docklands.
