Huge update from the UN today, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has secured a UN resolution declaring the slave trade (and it's lasting impacts) as one of the world's worst human rights abuses.

President Mahama stressed the importance of this resolution in the fight for reparations paid by the countries who profited from slavery.

#Histodons: Can you share links or other resources for the process of writing #microhistory? I'm working on a #Quaker #reparations #history project for my Meeting and and would like to begin sharing some of the stories using this approach. A Google search hasn't gotten me any truly helpful writing guides, yet. Any recommendations are truly appreciated.
