Summoning the Spirits of Reparatory Justice: A Convergence at the Buxton Memorial Fountain
Introduction
In the heart of London, amidst the historic Victoria Tower Gardens, stands the Buxton Memorial Fountain, an enduring testament to the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834. This iconic structure, designed by Charles Buxton and Samuel Sanders Teulon, not only commemorates the pivotal moment in history but also serves as a powerful symbol of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Now, a movement known as ADEJA (African Descendants for Justice) has set its sights on this historic site, invoking the "Black Spirits of Reparatory Justice" and the White spirits of emancipation to convene and expedite the delivery of reparatory justice by November 9, 2025.
The Significance of ADEJA and the Buxton Memorial Fountain
ADEJA, at its core, is a movement advocating for reparations to rectify the historical injustices inflicted upon African descendants through centuries of slavery, colonization, and systemic racism. The Buxton Memorial Fountain provides a poignant backdrop for the convergence of spirits, serving as a physical manifestation of the struggle against slavery and a beacon of hope for a future marked by justice and equality.
The fountain, commissioned by Charles Buxton MP in 1865, was dedicated to his father, Thomas Fowell Buxton, and other key figures in the abolition campaign, such as William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson. Its relocation to Victoria Tower Gardens in 1957 was a deliberate effort to preserve and highlight the historical significance of the monument. The restoration in 2007, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the act to abolish the slave trade, further solidified its role as a living testament to the fight against oppression.
ADEJA sees the Buxton Memorial Fountain as a sacred space where the spirits of emancipation and the quest for justice converge. The memorial, with its rich history and symbolic importance, stands as a focal point for the energies seeking to rectify historical wrongs.
The Role of the White People Protection League (WPPL)
Integral to the meeting of spirits is the involvement of the White People Protection League (WPPL). This organization, acknowledging the need for reparatory justice, represents a collective commitment among allies to address historical wrongs and work towards a more equitable future. The WPPL serves as a bridge between the spirits of emancipation and those seeking reparations, fostering understanding, dialogue, and collaboration.
The meeting of spirits at the Buxton Memorial Fountain is not just a convergence of historical forces but a contemporary alliance between those advocating for justice from all walks of life. The WPPL plays a crucial role in ensuring that the quest for reparatory justice is a united effort, transcending racial and cultural boundaries.
Conclusion
As the ADEJA movement invokes the spirits of Reparatory Justice and Emancipation, the Buxton Memorial Fountain stands as a beacon, embodying the struggles and triumphs of those who fought against the chains of slavery. The meeting of spirits on November 9, 2025, signifies a collective commitment to rectifying historical injustices and forging a path towards a more just and equitable future. In this endeavor, the White People Protection League acts as a crucial ally, emphasizing the importance of unity in the pursuit of reparatory justice. The Buxton Memorial Fountain, with its storied history and symbolic resonance, becomes the sacred ground where the spirits of the past and present converge, paving the way for a more just world.
