Compiled by the media team of the African-Caribbean Reparations and Resettlement Alliance (ACRRA) http://www.acrra.org, this short, informative documentary video highlights the historical relationship between Denmark, the Danish West Indies colony, and now, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the associated human tragedy.

Featuring footage from a number of events organized by the Virgin Islands Reparations Movement, this video makes a very compelling argument for slavery reparations.

  • @tacobeenchild do some research and stop sounding like a jack ass on here....we all know the conditions our brothers are living in Afrikaa but I hope you understand why it even got to that point.

  • So if they still were in Africa, would their life be better than now? I don't think so.

  • we want reparation

  • 1 womb 1 heart 1 love 1 legacy 1 world 1 justice 1 peace 1 tavis 1 cornel

  • Many white danes descend from negro-slaves. Approx. 5 % of white danes or 250.000 are related to blacks. (numbers are from the 1980's). The numbers today one generation later must be higher. In my family we descends from Lucretia Bourke, who was born slave in 1797. But we have been white for the last 3-4 generations, but we still have letters our foremother, who was born a slave wrote, and we have an old photograph of our coloured ancestors.

  • fuck slavery , glad that it has been abolished, it was a shame but VIRGIN ISLANDS ARE DANISH¡¡¡¡¡
