At a public forum in St George's co-hosted by the Grenada National Reparations Committee and the University of the West Indies, Laura Trevelyan and relatives apologized for ancestors' ownership of enslaved people on Grenadian plantations. The apology was signed by 104 descendants of part owners of six plantations. Trevelyan pledged £100,000 toward an education fund at the UWI Open Campus in Grenada, with other family education contributions also announced. Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell accepted the apology on behalf of CARICOM citizens. The act was a private family contribution and acknowledgment, not a settlement of CARICOM's state-level reparations claim; public debate continued over the scale and adequacy of reparative action.
