Nearly two centuries after abolition of the slave trade, reparations for its descendants are long overdue. In a historic move, former BBC journalist Laura Trevelyan and her family recently made public apology for their ancestral ownership of more than 1,000 slaves on the Caribbean island of Grenada.Trevelyan, now a full-time advocate for reparative justice, has offered a £100,000 donation. Most recently, she has requested apologies from Britain’s King Charles and the British Government for their past ties to slavery. Trevelyan discusses all this with Michel Martin.
