"We are here today agitating for freedom, redemption, international repatriation in commemoration of the 173rd anniversary of Emancipation," said Honourable Empress Esther, who halted the march to speak with The Gleaner. She said the march was spearheaded by the Ethiopia Black International Congress Woman's Freedom Liberation League, "because we see the necessity for us as mothers to come with our children".
