Ghana conference urges slave-trade nations to issue apologies and reparations

African and Caribbean leaders at a conference in Accra, Ghana, urged former slave-trading nations to issue apologies and reparations following a U.N. resolution labeling the transatlantic slave trade as 'the gravest crime against humanity.' The conference proposed concrete measures for reparatory justice, including a Global Reparation Fund, though countries like the United States show mixed public support for such initiatives.
