Webinar Panel,
Sat., January 10, 2026

The December 12th Movement presents an online Webinar Panel about “Remember Durban, Reparations Now!” The panel features Roger Wareham (The December 12th Movement), Barbara Reynolds (UN Working Group of Experts On People of African Descent), David Commissiong (CARICOM Reparations Commission), and Mawuli Davis (National Black United Front).

25 years ago, on September 2001, the December 12th Movement International Secretariat and the National Black United Front, led a conference in South Africa that declared the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery as a crime against Humanity and to demand Reparations for all African People in the Diaspora and on the continent of Africa.

Durban refers to successful efforts by grassroots activists, many from the historically Black neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant who attended the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia and Related Intolerances in Durban, South Africa. Among with many other issues, like Durban attendees were successful in placing the issue of Reparations for Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade before the world body and achieved, against the objections of western nations, getting language into the Final Durban Declaration that declared the Atlantic Slave Trade as “a crime against Humanity — a binding legal charge in international law with no time limitations on prosecution [thus, finally allowing reparations lawsuits against countries who stole and sold enslaved workers.]
