Is it enough to express ‘profound sorrow’ for an ‘appalling atrocity’ that you benefited from? Prince William may think it is, but many in Barbados, Jamaica and the Bahamas don’t.
As William and Kate tour the Caribbean, they are greeted with calls for justice, and that amends be made for the legacy of slavery. Will you join?
Campaigners in Kingston staged a protest demanding reparations when the British Royal tour arrived in Jamaica. The Prime Minister of Barbados -- the world’s newest republic -- is writing again to European countries on behalf of the Caribbean Community in an attempt to finally resolve the issue.
The Bahamas National Reparations Committee issued the same request ahead of the Duke and Duchess’s arrival there.
If enough of us come together to support those demands, we can tip the scales in favour of making long-overdue amends for the crime against humanity of slavery.
Join the global call for reparations.
