The Cabinet held a discussion around the visit of three Harvard University officials to the Prime Minister, the day before.\u00a0<\/strong>Harvard University, especially its law school, was provided with a very large endowment by an Antiguan slave-master named Isaac Royall, of Royall\u2019s Estate. Harvard University will provide significant resources to the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus to embark on significant research to identify the descendants of the Antiguans who were moved to Massachusetts between 1670 and 1810. The enslaved Antiguans came from the five plantations on Antigua owned by the Royall Family over generations. The Harvard contribution to Antigua and Barbuda is considered a form of reparation that must be proportionate to the harm. To trace the lineage of the exported families, church records as well as slave registers will be examined by the research team that will visit Antigua in the coming months. Harvard University is also a healthcare provider and, as such, its assistance in tackling the Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) that plague Antigua and Barbuda, will also be sought<\/p>
