This weeks is for # slavery. A few days ago, the Netherlands celebrated the 150th anniversary of emancipating slaves from its former colonies, Surinam and the Dutch Antilles. The women in this photo, who wear traditional Surinamese dresses developed during the slavery era, participated in the commemoratory festival. Althoughthe Netherlands has never issued an official apology for its participation in the slave trade, this national celebration takes place every year. In your opinion, is an apology in order or are annual commemorations enough? Photo: Robin Utrecht/ANP
