Among the initiatives that marked the commemorative year was a virtual exhibition, Lest We Forget: The Triumph over Slavery, created by the [[Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture]] and [[New York Public Library]].
Another effort that was launched during the year was a research and information programme, Forgotten Slaves. The programme was implemented by the [[French Marine Archaeology Group]] (GRAN) with the support of UNESCO. It was inspired by [[Tromelin_Island#Wreck_of_the_ship_Utile|the wreck]] of the [[slave ship]] ''l’Utile'' off the shores of the [[Tromelin Island]] in the [[Indian Ocean]] in 1761 and was intended to be part of an information campaign to raise awareness of both the history of slavery and [[modern slavery|modern forms of slavery]].
