The very beginning of this chapter addresses slavery in the Caribbean and not North America.
"UN Officials said it provides an opportunity to think about the historic causes, the methods, and the consequences of slave trade that must never be forgotten."
Is this opportunity including ALL historical incidents of slavery?
No, of course not, just the Transatlantic Slave Trade, since the UN and Africans, namely North American blacks, only believe and argue that that slave trade was the only one in human history, at least the only one that matters, since after all, they want a lottery payday despite no slave or slave owner being alive today to justify reparations in 2025.
"And, with the approaching 500th anniversary of the date Africans were first forced into slavery in America, many like Felicia M. Davis, the director of the HBCU Green Fund, which invests in sustainable campus solutions for historically black colleges and universities, said she believes African enslavement demands reexamination."
First and foremost, it's only been less than 405 years since the first African "slave" was brought to North America.
Secondly, less than 335,000 Africans were even bought to then North America for slavery purposes.
Third, Felicia M. Davis was never a slave from the 1600-1865, a complete disingenuous claim on the author's part. Moreover, what Davis feels, thinks, and/or believes is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what can be proven.
Finally, African enslavement has been going on long before the discovery on the Americas, and long before Europeans got involved in slavery whereas the Arabs and Africans themselves were knee deep in African slavery.
In fact, European whites were enslaved in far greater numbers than Africans were brought to North America.
