2019 marks the 25th anniversary of UNESCO's Slave Route Project: Resistance, Liberty, Heritage. For a quarter century, the Organization has been working to help governments, universities, the media, and civil society to examine this tragic chapter in our history; to combat ignorance and the denial of a past which has nevertheless been extensively documented in written, oral, and material form; and to raise awareness of this heritage in all its complexity.
On this occasion, watch the message from Marcus Miller, renowned American jazz musician, composer and producer, who was nominated on 4 July 2013 by UNESCO's Director-General as UNESCO Artist for Peace and Spokesperson for the Slave Route Project.
