Bermuda’s Emancipation Day, as established by the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, commemorates the day that people of African descent in this country were recognized as citizens rather than as property; no longer forcibly working for others, or legally sold as an object, rather than accorded basic rights as a human being, though it is recognised that the struggle still continues.
Bermuda is an increasingly popular vacation destination - and it's easy to see why. The island boasts world-famous pink-sand beaches, a colorful culture and is brimming with architecture, history and fun. As there's so much to see in Bermuda, knowing where to start can be overwhelming.
