In this update we would like to share with you that on August 20/21 our sister island St. Helena honored 325 'liberated' Afrikans with a ceremonial reburial. They are part of the forgotten history of the 'liberated' Afrikans of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. More than 8,000 men, women and children are still buried anonymously on the island. St. Helena is the most significant physical remaining trace of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on earth.

Namibian environmental and cultural heritage consultant Annina van Neel has been concerned for years with the fate of the 325 men, women and children. Together with Peggy King Jorde, specialist in the field of marginalized heritage and involved in the creation of the African Burial Ground Memorial in New York in 1990, she has fought for respectful treatment and for the reburial of their exhumed remains. Now they are finally getting the respect and peace they deserve. The documentary "A Story of Bones" is telling the full story: A Story of Bones See also our press release.
