Retraction And Apology Retraction: we have removed an article about the transatlantic slave trade
TUE, 31 MAR 2026

We have retracted an article, “The transatlantic slave trade is the gravest crime against humanity – why the UN declaration matters”.

It was brought to our attention that the author was no longer affiliated to Colgate University, a point the author did not disclose when he was commissioned and the article was being processed. All authors writing for The Conversation require a university affiliation.
