Global Slavery Remembrance Day organization seeks to bring awareness to March 25th in Hampton, Virginia, where slavery began in the United States, August 23rd in Dallas, Texas. Texas, where slavery ended. UNESCO declared August 23rd as "Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition". As an organization our Mission is to assist within the United States, the United Nations and UNESCO with their goals of bringing worldwide recognition to International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, as well as, assisting the United Nations by providing a platform for its member states to record activities involving their nation's and to physically display their support for the awareness movement. Our global campaign seeks to set an official world record for the largest number of people ever to stand up for the awareness on the issue of slavery.

I was researching "The Study of Slavery and Freedom" in American History, when I was moved by this paragraph on their site "Slavery played a profound role in the history of the United States. The wealth created by the unpaid labor of African Americans helped to underwrite the country's industrial revolution and subsequent economic strength. That wealth created tremendous political power for slave holders and their representatives. African slaves brought with them their many cultures, languages, and values, which helped to shape America and its unique culture. Enduring a brutally oppressive system, African slaves developed a deep commitment to liberty and became a living testament to the powerful ideal of freedom." There are partners of grants seeking to help teachers view history as a continuum—with issues of slavery, freedom, and civil rights as a central theme to understanding who we are as a nation.

Our Vision is to commemorate the millions of lives lost every March 25th in Hampton, Virginia where slavery began in America; and to remember their legacy; and to celebrate the resistance, rebellion and the revolution of the uprising revolt of the begininng towards the ending of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on August 23rd, today's Mondern Day Slavery and today's Discrimination; therefore hosting two (2) annual events: March 25th in the city of Hampton, Virginia , and August 23rd in the city of Dallas, Texas
