Commemorating the Closing of the Atlantic Slave Trade

Today is being the kind of day where I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day to reach its end, so I don't have the brainpower to write a proper post about this, but I still wanted to at least make a note of it:

Slavery: Celebrating the Beginning of the End. Friday symposium to commemorate closing of U.S.-Atlantic slave trade

200 years.

Also, I am overdue to post a poem, but not today.
