Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March
The annual Afrikan Emancipation Day Reparations March is part of a campaign calling for the UK to make amends for the enslavement endured by generations of African people.
The march this afternoon marks its seventh year as a means of drawing attention to their cause.
The event marks the passing of the 1833 Abolition of Slavery Act, which came into force on 1 August 1834.
Campaigners argue that the millions of pounds in compensation paid to former slaveholders as a result of the Act, without similar recompense for freed slaveholders, cemented and increased racial injustices that are still felt today.
