The APPG for Afrikan Reparations welcomes the apology from the Trevelyan family, an aristocratic British family, for their ownership of slaves and their commitment to reparations.
The Trevelyan family have publicly apologised to the people of the Caribbean island of Grenada, where their ancestors owned more than 1,000 slaves in the 19th Century.
Laura Trevelyan, a New York-based BBC correspondent who investigated her family’s link to the slave bytrade, donated the money to the University of the West Indies (UWI).
