The African-Caribbean Reparations and Resettlement Alliance (ACRRA) is a leading advocacy organization dedicated to securing reparative justice, historical accountability, and meaningful legislative action for the descendants of enslaved Africans in the former Danish West Indies—now the U.S. Founded and led by Shelley Moorhead, ACRRA has been at the forefront of efforts to engage with Danish and U.S. policymakers, scholars, and civil society organizations to address the lasting consequences of Denmark’s colonial past and the transatlantic slave trade. Our Mission
ACRRA is committed to:
✅ Advocating for formal recognition and reparative justice from Denmark and other institutions historically involved in the exploitation of enslaved Africans.

✅ Promoting research, education, and public awareness on the economic, legal, and social impacts of Danish colonial rule.
✅ Fostering international partnerships to support reparative initiatives and structural reforms that advance justice and reconciliation. Our Impact
ACRRA has been instrumental in:
Initiating high-level discussions between Denmark and U.S. Bringing international attention to Denmark’s colonial legacy through academic research, media engagement, and legislative proposals. Pushing for an official apology and reparative actions through strategic diplomacy, public campaigns, and institutional engagement.
