Emancipation Day Menu Plan 2007
August 1st is Emancipation Day in Trinidad and Tobago, a public holiday. Trinidad and Tobago was the first country in the world to commemorate the abolition of slavery with a national observance, and since that time several other countries (mostly in the Caribbean) have followed suit.
For quite a few years now the last week in July, building up to the holiday (August 1), has been set aside for a series of festivals, lectures, films and fairs in honour of the occasion.
I really wanted to attend the African Food Fair last weekend but because of a family emergency was unable to do so. Instead I found myself at our national airport where I took these pictures of an Emancipation Day display instead.
