Africa Diaspora marks Emancipation Day
In the first segment of Africa Today this week, we are focusing on Emancipation Day, an important day in the history of Africans in the Diaspora. The first day of August is marked as Emancipation Day in many countries across the Caribbean and the Americas to commemorate the emancipation of slaves of African descent. We are asking, what is the significance of this day amid demands for reparations from European powers that engaged in the evil slave trade? In the second part of our program we are having a glimpse at Burkina Faso, a West African country that gained independence on the Fifth of August 1960.
