(BPRW) JUNETEENTH SHOULD BE AN IMPETUS TO HEAL FROM LEGACIES OF ENSLAVEMENT, SAYS THE GLOBAL CIRCLE FOR REPARATIONS AND HEALING

(Black PR Wire) In anticipation of this year’s observance of Juneteenth, the Global Circle for Reparations and Healing today released a Declaration urging all Global Africans (Africans on the Continent and across the Diaspora) to focus intently on healing.

The Centering Healing Declaration calls on Africans everywhere to join in the quest for freedom from the most powerful and longest-lasting impacts of enslavement and colonization: the profound, unmeasured and untreated, injuries resulting from generations of assaults on the bodies, minds, and spirits of Africans and People of African Descent.

The Declaration is the outcome of a groundbreaking Summit convened in Accra, Ghana, by the Global Circle for Reparations and Healing (GCRH), co-organized by the African Union (AU) and Justice and Repair and hosted by the Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund (ATJLF). Summit participants included representatives from the United States, the Caribbean, Africa, South America, and Europe. They came together inspired by the African Union Theme of the Year for 2025 – “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations,” and they were united by a shared resolve to build an infrastructure for healing across Global Africa as an indispensable element of reparations.
