ARDC works with others to promote and acknowledge ARD/Emancipation
Day and to erect monuments to the African victims of slavery.
It seeks to ensure that ARD is also acknowledged by the descendents
of the enslavers, in their first steps towards making reparations
for the past.
The ARDC also works to produce information, booklets and seminars,
including the annual African Remembrance Day Memorial Lecture,
to educate people about the
African victims of slavery.
