BBC News - Wealthy UK family to apologise in Grenada over slave-owning past

"For me to be giving £100,000 almost 200 years later... maybe that seems like really inadequate," she said.]

@Mabande Hear! Hear!
@Diva2022 Throwing pennies at a massive problem their family helped create. Pfft...Anything under a couple mil is just tokenism.
@Diva2022 Apologetic words from colonizers, who exploited ppl & their lands/waters, are empty without aligned reparation actions.
@msquebanh Hard agree!
@Diva2022 I feel similarly when govt politicians do shallow land acknowledgements but don't put forth any actual landback actions. They'll do that lipservice but keep sending corporate mercenaries to invade unceded native lands. It's vile.
