THE FIRST REPAIR: RESTORING THE RIGHT OF RETURN
Siphiwe Baleka examines the historical and legal foundations of African-descendant peoples’ relationship to the continent—and why restoration must include more than remembrance.
For Afrodescendant Nation, the right of return is connected to identity, lineage, dignity, self-determination, and the recognition of Africa’s global Sixth Region.
Watch, reflect, and join the conversation about rebuilding the relationship between Africa and its worldwide Afrodescendant family.

Colombia’s Afro-descendant communities are central to the country’s history, culture, territory and future.
This clip examines why Afro-Colombian and Indigenous communities must be included in any meaningful vision of peace—especially across Colombia’s Pacific coast, where communities have faced disproportionate effects from conflict and displacement.
Colombia’s 1991 Constitution recognized special protections for ethnic communities, but constitutional rights must become lived rights: inclusion, territorial security, collective dignity and political voice.
Afro-Colombian rights are part of the wider struggle for Afro-descendant justice across the world.

Brazil is not an outside example for Afrodescendant Nation.
It is one of ADN’s 19 nations, a major African-descendant society in the Americas, and a Portuguese-speaking voice in the wider Black World.
In Brazil’s 2022 Census, 55.5% of the population identified as preto or pardo—approximately 112.7 million people. Brazil also has a federal Ministry of Racial Equality and national affirmative-action policies supporting access to education and public institutions.
At the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, Brazil’s Minister of Racial Equality, Rachel Barros de Oliveira, explains how public schools and affirmative-action policies shaped her path to national leadership.
Brazil has not solved racial inequality. But its experience gives the Afrodescendant World a concrete policy question:
Can education and affirmative action change who reaches power—and how should nations measure the results?

At Justice on the Line in Jackson, Mississippi, Dr. Tauheedah Sabree of the Afrodescendant Nation spoke to a question that reaches across the diaspora: Who are we as a people, and how do we build the collective power to pursue justice and repair?
Our identity is not only a matter of history. It is the foundation for self-determination, institution-building, and a global reparatory justice movement.
