Heirs of Slavery<\/u><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We are a new group composed of people whose ancestors profited from and supported transatlantic slavery and its many related industries.<\/p>\n

It is a history that we have all examined and acknowledged publicly.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There are wrongs in today’s world that derive from the exploitation of African people and their descendants by Britain and other former colonial powers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We believe it\u2019s important to acknowledge this crime against humanity and address its ongoing consequences.<\/p>\n

We wish to support today’s movements seeking apology, dialogue, reconciliation and reparative justice.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We encourage others who have similarly examined their family history to consider how personal charitable donations, according to their means, can help the futures of people in the Caribbean and Britain.<\/p>\n

But our main purpose is to lend our voices as heirs of those involved in the business of slavery to support campaigns for institutional and national reparative justice.<\/p>
