Reflecting on the apology of the Dutch King, Ms Stanford-Xosei said the apology is “still limited” and is talking about a slave trade and not the loss of humanity. “The voices of enslaved people and their descendants, the voices of enslaved Africans, African Caribbean people and however we self-define, need to be heard on this issue because this is an issue of global importance and ramification.Ms Stanford-Xosei added by not including the voices of the enslaved and their descendants “we are still continuing the harm of marginalising.”She said: “What is being missed out is, it was Africans that were taken from Africa, to the Caribbean and other colonies.
