RE: First Step To Acknowledgement Of Slavery In Dutch History? ⛓️ National Monument Slavery Past

in ReggaeJAHMlast year

I am not sure if they even did that to their other colonies but they did to Indonesia.

That's nice that the Indonesian people got to receive those formal apologies, because I know only little about the history and those stories are horrible, to say the least.

Suriname - don't know about other former colonies - hasn't received a formal apology (yet), but the PM did say to issue one in 2023, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Oh and I have distant family living in Indonesia, but never met them. My grandfather's father took a few (or one, don't know the full story) of his children back with him to Indonesia and he was going to bring my grandfather also, but the last ship that my grandfather was supposed to be on, didn't leave for some reason.

Oh and I don't think they know much about Indonesia, but I'll have to speak to more, before I can form my own opinion though. I have been told that they don't know much about Suriname though, because they don't teach much about it in history.
