NiNsee

In 2002 the National Institute Netherlands Slavery Heritage (Nationaal Instituut Nederlands Slavernijverleden en Erfenis, NiNsee) was established. NinSee is active in research, education and public events, including the annual Tula commemoration on August 17 in the Muiderkerk. The goal of NiNsee is to improve knowledge and a realistic picture of Dutch past of slavery and it's heritage, from different points of view. NiNsee is located in the Amsterdam City Archive on Vijzelstraat 32.

Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community?

On April 4, 1968, it was 50 years ago that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. To keep his dream alive, 50 identical statues were placed from Amsterdam to Washington on locations that refer to slavery and places that let us remember how important it is to end racism and fight for equality, regardless of gender, religion and race. History may not be forgotten. The statues are an ode to Martin Luther King and everybody who continues his nonviolent mission. Keeping the dream alive.

Colophon

"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today."

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
