Grenada announces a reparations forum with Trevelyan descendants

Wee FM reported that the Grenada National Reparations Committee would host a forum on 27 February with the Trevelyan family, descendants of plantation owners who had enslaved more than 1,000 Africans in Grenada. The report said the Grenada committee had been set up by a cabinet conclusion in March 2021; the available report gives no exact day for that decision, so it is not assigned a separate event date here. The planned forum framed reparations as a Caribbean struggle with roots in the post-emancipation era and as a matter of present-day public accountability.
