In the afterglow of the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, celebrated annually on August 23 to memorialize the transatlantic slave trade, DiversiPro invites you to reflect on the 60th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (August 31) and the scholarship of Dr. Eric Williams who articulated the economic underpinnings of oppression in his book Capitalism and Slavery.
