AAI is pioneering a unified dialogue on healing and repair for Africa, the Global African Diaspora, and between.

The legacy of slavery and colonialism persists in the form of economic disparities, institutional racism, and social inequality. The global healing and repair movement aims to address these historical wrongs by demanding acknowledgment, apologies, and tangible remedies. From upholding land rights claims of the quilombola people (descendants of enslaved people) in Brazilian rainforests, to repatriating artifacts like the Benin bronzes from the United States and Germany to Nigeria, to redressing past discriminatory housing practices in US cities like Evanston, Illinois, and a growing use of loss and damage funds such as in the case of the 2022 Pakistan floods, examples of an expanding healing and repair movement are numerous and rapidly increasing.  This is where AAI comes in — we are amping up our leadership and bringing together leaders from civil society, government, and human rights bodies to pursue a unified dialogue on repair and healing for Africa and its worldwide diaspora.
