Speaking at a High-Level Special Event on Reparatory Justice at the United Nations Headquarters on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, he stressed the need to rethink how history has framed the slave trade. “The entire transatlantic slave trade was designed to deny African people their humanity; there is no such thing as a slave.
