Wealthy British family to pay reparations to Grenada for links to slavery by S_Fleary1
Seven members of the Trevelyan family will travel to the Caribbean country later this month to issue a public apology
Laura Trevelyan, who is a BBC reporter and family member, visited Grenada in 2022 – to make a documentary. She said: “It was really horrific… I saw for myself the plantations where slaves were punished, when I saw the instruments of torture that were used to restrain them.” Speaking about the donation, Ms Trevelyan said giving the funds almost 200 years later might seem “inadequate”, but she hopes it would set an example to others.
