| Introduction | In 2004, Moorhead founded the African-Caribbean Reparations & Resettlement Alliance (ACRRA) in the USVI. In April 2005, Moorhead led the first USVI delegation to travel to Denmark from the islands since D. Hamilton Jackson in 1915, to include USVI Sens. Nelson and Richards, Congresswoman Donna M. Christensen, Dr. Carlyle Corbin - Min. of State for External Affairs as well as civic leaders & a youth delegate. On April 11, 2005 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed which established the USVI / Denmark Joint Reparations Task Force co-chaired by ACRRA & the Danish Institute for Human Rights. The accord is the first between the Danes & Virgin Islanders which directly acknowledges the cruelty of 175 years of slavery. |
