International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is honored on March 25. It was observed for the first time in 2008. The day honors and recalls the more than 15 million people who were brutalized for over 400 years as a result of a slave system. The Panamanian port city of Portobelo is a key entry site during the transatlantic slave trade for enslaved Africans who would then be transported to various locations if they survive the treacherous ocean voyages. Despite its abolition, slavery still exists today in various ways.
Taranaki Anniversary
We celebrate Taranaki Anniversary on March 9 this year. The holiday celebrates the founding day of the province of Taranaki in New Zealand. Taranaki Anniversary is observed on the second Monday in March every year. The day is selected not to coincide with Easter. Taranaki Province is no longer applicable as the authorities abolished provinces in 1876. Areas that were provinces are now referred to as regions. Settlement in the Taranaki Province was facilitated by the Plymouth Company, in 1841. Then, the area was known as New Plymouth Province. It was later renamed Taranaki Province.
