Holocaust Monument

This monument was erected in memory of the millions of Africans who were enslaved. The memorial was completed and dedicated on July 20th, 1997 by Pastor Kwame Mohlabani (formerly Canon Clive Griffith).

 

Fr. Griffith gave up his slave name and adopted the African name: Kwami Mohlabani, Chief Echefu I of Okapala Nigeria. Each year he celebrated Kwanzaa in July, to honour his African heritage. Kwanzaa is a ritual to welcome the first harvest home and it is typically celebrated in December.

 

 During Emancipation Day each year in Trinidad, the African Holocaust Monument Park is a part of the celebrations.
