World Colonization Memorial

AMENDS

To appropriately respond to historical crimes of colonization and the Transatlantic slave trade,
descendants of those who now carry the burden of atoning for those sins must accept that doing
so is their fiduciary and moral duty. Refusing to address these unresolved sins appears complicit
and undermines the emotional wounds of the victims’ descendants. Additionally, denying
responsibility in the face of legitimate accusations seems to endorse the actions of one's
predecessors. WCM is committed to working with all the relevant stakeholders for amends.
