They come together with the serious purpose of remembering those millions who suffered, and those who fought to end the practice of slavery. The symbol of this day is the Okra flower. This is because it was vital nutrition for those without normal access to food.

The annual celebrations include the walk of remembrance, a libation on the waterfront and the Dorothy Kuya Slavery Remembrance Lecture, a time of togetherness and thankfulness for freedom from oppression.
