Ministry celebrates Emancipation Day

In honour of Emancipation Day, which will be observed on August 1, 2024, the staff of the Ministry of Home Affairs donned their traditional attire. This celebration marks a significant moment in Guyana’s history, commemorating the abolition of slavery and the rebirth of the African spirit.
Emancipation Day stands as a testament to the end of years of dehumanization and the resilience of the African people in Guyana. It serves as a powerful reminder of our nation’s journey towards freedom and equality.
The Ministry of Home Affairs is proud to participate in this meaningful occasion, reflecting on our shared heritage and the enduring strength of the African community in Guyana.
