The ancestors are speaking, and this time, they are not whispering. They are roaring through the corridors of power, rattling the bones of empires, and calling the world to account. On September 25, 2025, at the United Nations General Assembly, the earth itself seemed to pause as African leaders stood together, not as beggars, not as former colonies, but as the original stewards of civilization, demanding justice. Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, declared that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was “the greatest crime against humanity,” and announced a formal motion for reparative justice on behalf of Africans and their descendants around the world. He said it plainly and powerfully: “Reparatory justice is not about pity. It is about recognition, responsibility, and restitution.” And in that moment, you could almost hear the applause of the ancestors, the ones who were stolen, silenced, and buried in unmarked graves, rising to bear witness. Because this was not just a speech it was a summoning.
