United Nations Slavery Memorial, officially "The Permanent Memorial at the United Nations in Honor of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade," is a sculpture to be placed at the UN headquarters in New York City as a permanent reminder of the long-lasting effects of slavery and the slave trade.〔http://unslaverymemorial.org/Permanent_Memorial_To_The_Victims_of_Slavery/Memorial.html〕 The Slavery Memorial concept came from various resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly including A/RES/62/122,〔http://www.un.org/en/slavery/pdf/RES62_122.pdf〕 A/RES/63/5,〔http://www.undemocracy.com/A-RES-63-5.pdf〕 and the Durban Declaration.〔http://www.un.org/WCAR/durban.pdf〕 Although the actual design has yet to be announced, the goal will be to complete a memorial by 2012 that reflects each region affected by the transatlantic slave trade.〔 The project is being supported by the Permanent Memorial Trust Fund; the estimated cost of the project is 4.5 million dollars.〔http://newsone.com/world/un-launches-trust-fund-for-slavery-memorial/〕 ==Advisory Board== *Goodwill Ambassadors: Russell Simmons (entrepreneur, philanthropist) *Chair: Mr. Howard Dodson (Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture) * Dr. Cheik Diarra (Microsoft Middle East and Africa') * Ms. Ellen Haddigan (Diamond Empowerment Fund) * David Scheider (The Coca-Cola Company) * Ms Harriet Mouchly-Weiss (Kreab Gavin ANderson) * Mr. Joseph Daniel (National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center) * Mr. David Dinkins (School of International Public Affairs) * Mr. Peter Tichansky (Business Council for International Understanding) * Mr. Luis Ubinas (Ford Foundation) * Congressman Gregory W.
