Keti Koti month started today, June 1st.
Keti Koti (literally 'chains cut') concerns the
formal abolishment of the physical enslavement of Africans and African Americans in
Suriname. Suriname is a country in South-America that has been aligned with the countries in the Caribbean Sea. That is, Suriname (Dutch Guyana), British Guyana, and French Guyana, form the three countries in South-America that are considered part of the Caribbean, based on the common story of physical and mental Black slavery and servitude. No one questions why the same does not apply to Brazil and Venezuela. It is irrelevant for now.
Keti Koti deals with the
formal abolishment of slavery in Suriname.
As I have been ignorant about
Keti Koti month, I was not set to write an article
