Emancipation Remembrance Day UK

Emancipation Remembrance Day UK aims to establish a tradition of remembrance and celebration that will allow us to learn about our past and raise awareness of Black History and Heritage (customs, tradition and legacy); through talks, displays and discussion informing the current and future generations, so that history will not be repeated. We aim to grow and elevate the Black community worldwide through a shared knowledge of self-worth.

The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 ended slavery in the British Empire on August 1, 1834. Emancipation Day is widely observed in the British West Indies during the first week of August.

We are bringing this tradition to the UK.

This is a FREE event and will provide something for everyone!
