International Coalition to Commemorate African Ancestors of the Middle Passage

ICCAAMP has proclaimed every second weekend in June (beginning in 2016) as the International commemoration to remember the ancestors of the Middle Passage.

The International Coalition to Commemorate African Ancestors of the Middle Passage (ICCAAMP) has been formed to organize activities that are designed to remember the millions of Africans who were sold, kidnapped, shipped then died along the route from Africa to the Americas.  We also honor and commemorate those who survived the transatlantic trafficking in African people known as the Maafa, Black Holocaust, and Middle Passage. 

ICCAAMP member organizations conduct annual events that commemorate the spirit of these Afrikan ancestors who have for years gone unrecognized and/or forgotten. These ceremonies are a means of renewal and restoration.

The echoes of history reverberate through time, shaping our identities and inspiring our actions.
