Full text: President Mahama’s speech at UN Resolution on Slavery

Truth begins with language, with the power that words hold to shape consciousness, to shift perspective, to propel action.

There were human beings who were trafficked and then enslaved by people who believed they could own those human beings as chattel, as their personal property.
