Slavery, Reparations and Britain’s White Debt

with Thomas Harding and Professor Matthew Smith

What is the legacy of slavery today? Is it enough to acknowledge the crimes of the past, or do we have a responsibility to learn from our history and, going forward, do something about it?

With panellists Thomas Harding, author of “White Debt: The Demerara Uprising and Britain’s LEGACY OF SLAVERY” and Professor Matthew Smith, director of the Centre for the Studies of the Legacies of British Slavery. Moderated by Yasmeen Akhtar, Chief Executive of TrustLab and actively involved in the diversity, inclusion and reparations space.
