Community members celebrate the first Slavery Remembrance Day in Houston
Shaniece Holmes-BrownU.S. Congressman Al Green hosted a free breakfast for community members to celebrate the first annual Slavery Remembrance Day.
Green’s Original Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution called for Aug. 20 to be designated as Slavery Remembrance Day. These would be the first slaves brought to the New World, and be the beginning of the horrors of slavery that would exist for over 400 years. “Because of Congressman Al Green, we are honored and reminded of the struggle [of slavery]. This Slave Remembrance Day is not just for White people, Asian people, or Hispanic people; it’s for Black people as well, because we need to remember from whence we have come.”
