Michael Banner | Britain’s Slavery Debt: Reparations Now!
Thu 24 Apr 2025 | 4:00pm – 5:00pm
‘Slavery ended a long time ago’ is a standard objection to Britain paying reparations for historic wrongs to present Caribbean inhabitants. In Britain’s Slavery Debt, Michael Banner, Dean of Trinity College, carefully considers and answers objections like this and acknowledges the complexities and practical problems involved. Come and join the discussion of why reparations are not punishment and what can be done, here and now, by individuals and institutions.
