United Nations Colonization Memorial
Across the world, there is a reckoning taking place over how we remember our history. Though much of the focus has been to take down monuments that celebrate racist historical figures, UNCM is about a new monument going up in Houston, Texas. It will document mass atrocities and invite the international community to acknowledgement and repentance. We believe that publicly confronting the truth about our history is the first step towards reconciliation and racial healing.
Call the world to acknowledgement, to repentance and to healing.
A global champion for voices that cannot be heard, UNCM was established to reverse cultures of denial, and advance a new era of truth to accelerate the pace of UN's action towards transformative change for racial justice and equality. It is the one place where the world's nations can gather to lay wreaths for victims of colonization, atone for the atrocities of a bygone era, appropriately address an overdue reckoning, and heal the emotional wounds of descendant communities.
