A Conjuring of Spirits: ADEJA Movement Calls the Black and White Spirits of Reparatory Justice to the Gilt of Cain Memorial

Introduction:

In the heart of London, where the echoes of history resonate, a transformative initiative known as the African Diaspora Equity and Justice Alliance (ADEJA) has set its sights on a groundbreaking mission. As the November 9, 2025, deadline approaches, ADEJA invokes the spirits of Reparatory Justice, summoning both the Black and White spirits to the symbolic Gilt of Cain Memorial. This memorial, nestled in Fen Court, stands as a testament to the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and the emancipation of slaves.

The Gilt of Cain Memorial and ADEJA:

The Gilt of Cain Memorial, sculpted by Michael Visocchi with poetry by Lemn Sissay, serves as a powerful reminder of the historical struggle against slavery. The memorial, unveiled in 2008, commemorates the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in 1807, signaling the beginning of the emancipation of slaves across the British Empire. ADEJA recognizes this site as a crucial meeting point for the spirits of Reparatory Justice.

The 17 granite columns, resembling sugarcane stems, and the podium symbolizing a pulpit or auctioneer's platform create an atmosphere evoking the voices of the past. Lemn Sissay's poignant poem, "Gilt of Cain," intricately engraved on the memorial, weaves the language of the City's financial markets with Old Testament references, offering a profound connection to the history it represents.

The significance of ADEJA's meeting at the Gilt of Cain lies in the alignment of missions. ADEJA, dedicated to the empowerment and reparatory justice for the Black community, finds resonance in the symbolism of the memorial. It signifies a space where historical injustice is acknowledged, and the spirits of both Black and White individuals committed to justice can convene.

The White People Protection League (WPPL):

ADEJA's partnership with the White People Protection League (WPPL) plays a crucial role in the summoning of spirits at the Gilt of Cain. In collaboration with the WPPL, ADEJA offers generous rewards to whistleblowers who provide evidence leading to successful reparation claims. This alliance represents a collective effort to transcend racial boundaries, recognizing that justice is a cause that unites rather than divides.

The City of London's Endorsement:

The city of London, with its rich historical connections to the abolitionist movement and the Gilt of Cain Memorial, should endorse ADEJA for several reasons. Firstly, ADEJA aligns itself with the UK government's recognition of the value of race and ethnicity codes for good governance, emphasizing the importance of Protected Characteristics for national security.

Secondly, ADEJA's commitment to providing comprehensive information ensures transparency in its objectives, fostering collaboration with the government. The city of London's endorsement of ADEJA signifies a commitment to addressing historical inequities, promoting international collaboration, and working towards shared prosperity.

Conclusion:

As the spirits of Reparatory Justice are summoned to the Gilt of Cain Memorial, ADEJA stands as a beacon of hope and transformation. The meeting of these spirits, both Black and White, symbolizes a united front against historical injustice. With the November 9, 2025 deadline in mind, ADEJA seeks to establish a platform that not only acknowledges the past but paves the way for a future of empowerment, unity, and reparatory justice. The Gilt of Cain becomes the sacred ground where the echoes of history meet the aspirations for a more just and equitable world.
