- Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, which operates the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice delivered the keynote lecture at an event entitled “Beyond Colonial Histories” which was part of commemorative activities for the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Organized the Outreach Programme on the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Slavery in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum, the National Museum of the Netherlands, and supported by the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New York, the event marked the conclusion of the Rijksmuseum’s groundbreaking exhibition “Slavery.Ten True Stories of Dutch Colonial Slavery” which was on display at the United Nations Headquarters in New York between February - March 2023.
Mr. Stevenson is a lawyer, social justice activist, New York University law professor and author of “Just Mercy”. Mr. Stevenson has worked to exonerate over 135 innocent death row prisoners and hundreds of others wrongly convicted emphasizing that “the true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned”.

What an inspiring storyteller who speaks with truth and conviction, and, impressively, without notes. Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I have never thought to look for it in justice. Professor Stevenson prompts me to look for it there. Thank you.

1919 yes exactly the poor kids when they would say something you knew they had gotten it from somewhere
17:32 I wanted them talk about childbirth so they could learn that it isn't the same for men as women and about how to care for the children and the elders because get raped pay go to jail or die make a false confession or we're taking your children it wasn't going to work out for you either way that's why entrapment with a criminal offense and by the looks of it the only way to get it off the market was to remove marriage altogether because that was the more perfect union in order to track where our money went
Am I the only European and former UN employee that does not give a toss about this issue. I have heard so much about it over my life and had so much of this history told to me as a student I'm fully aware of what happened who did what to whom.

إن القوامة استحقاق «للرجل» في مقابل أمرين مجتمعين معًا، هما: تأهُّله للإدارة في دائرة الأسرة حصرًا، والتزامه بالإنفاق على زوجته من ماله.. وهي ليست أفضلية «تشريف»، بل اختيار للأنسب، والأكثر احتمالًا لمشاق الأسرة، وصبرًا على تكاليفها.. فهي - إن صح التمثيل - «قوامة» إدارة وتسيير أعمال، وليست «قوامة» رئاسة وسيطرة، بل قوامة شورى وشراكة وتوزيع أدوار وتبادل حقوق وواجبات..

Guardianship is a matter assigned to men in exchange for two related matters. These are the man’s ability to exclusively manage the family as well as a commitment to financially support his wife. Therefore, it is not a matter of privilege but rather based on choosing the more qualified to endure the difficulties of family affairs. It may also be defined as caretaking instead of mere control and domination since it is based on consultation, partnership, and the distribution of roles and obligations.

Jusqu'à présent mes droits ne me sont pas été attribué j'espère que les bonnes intentions me seront attribuées.
When he talks about the nations that were complicit in slavery, why doesn't he mention Africa herself? Surely Professor Stevenson knows the history of Africa and who sold what to whom. Who benefited. Who ran the markets. Who gathered the slaves for trade. Many were guilty in that, but he's leaving out names.
