The history of St Helena is fascinating and touches many aspects of world history. Discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, it has since been in British possession, only being briefly taken over by the Dutch in 1633. The island became a port of strategic importance until the opening of the Suez Canal and the advent of steamships. The island’s remote location meant it was used as a place of exile for key prisoners, including some 6,000 Boers, Chief Dinnizulu, Bahraini princes, and Napoleon, who died on St Helena. The Island also played an important role during the abolition of slavery. This heritage provides a significant legacy of fortifications, remains, historic buildings, and what has been described as “the quintessential Atlantic port” - Jamestown. Situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, this small British island territory is one of the remotest places on Earth. Until the airport opens in early 2016, the main way for tourists to get to St Helena is by ship, on the RMS St Helena. #AStoryOfBones #StHelena #SaintHelena #Documentary #reclaimingnarratives #historicalinjustice

OK, perhaps there needs to be a 'slavery reflection room' but why does it have to obliterate what is, essentially, a national war memorial? This is like the news that today, Magdalen College at Oxford University won't observe St. George's Day (the patron saint of England) but it will observe an Eid dinner. Why can't we have both? There's plenty of room in a multicultural democracy for many viewpoints. But these actions do not create an atmosphere of equality and understanding. By deliberately erasing one viewpoint (the viewpoint of a majority, I would argue) in favour of another ( a minority viewpoint) the powers-that-be are seeking to place that majority at a disadvantage, and to elevate the minority to a position of supremacy. And, seeking to reinforce their position by enacting ludicrous hate crime laws which are far over-reaching, and are close to a suspension of the free speech and free assembly rights which Britons have enjoyed since the time of the Magna Carta. 'Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? …..

"Indigenous Peoples of the Western Hemisphere immediately experienced enslavement and theft of resources by the explorers turned settlers. Colonies created by the Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch, and English grew throughout the Americas and increasingly encroached upon Native lives and lands. Warfare, enslavement, and forced relocation disrupted and altered the lives of Indigenous Peoples in the Americas. Celebrating Columbus and other explorers like him dismisses the devastating losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples of the Western Hemisphere in the past and the ongoing effects of colonialism today.
