Monday 23 August: Slavery Remembrance Day

 Painting depicting the rebellion on the night of August 22-23, 1791, in Bwa Kayiman, Saint-Domingue

August 23rd is the International Remembrance Day of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. On 23 August 1791, enslaved Africans on the island of Saint-Domingue (Haiti) rebelled and started the fight for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade that lasted from the 16th to the 19th century.

Approximately 17 million men, women and children were deported from their homes during the transatlantic slave trade, also know as the African Holocaust. Arthur Torrington (The Equiano Society) told Black Mental Health UK: "The plantations were no different from a concentration camp.  People were  routinely abused and brutalised and were forced to work in the most inhumane conditions.  They could not run away from it and so they died there."

Wyclef Jean to appeal disqualification



On Friday 20 August, Wyclef Jean was disqualified from the Haitian presidential election race due to take place on 28 November because he hasn't lived in the country for the five consecutive years leading to the election.

He said in a statement: "It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the board of elections in Haiti has disqualified me from my run for the presidency of the country. Though I disagree with the ruling, I respectfully accept the committee's final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same. We must all honor the memories of those we've lost--whether in the earthquake, or at anytime--by responding peacefully and responsibly to this disappointment."

The singer is to appeal the decision as he was allowed to travel and represent Haiti abroad after President Rene Preval appointed him as a roving ambassador.

2010 Curly Ponytail Hairstyles for Girls

The first curly ponytail hairstyle can be easily completely with curly hair is to pull all of the hair to one side, in a low ponytail and secure it with small elastic. The smaller elastic the better as it should be hidden by the hair. Use pins to secure the other side of the hair and immediately glamorize the hairstyle.
