A&B INSISTS HARVARD UNIVERSITY FULFIL ITS PLEDGE ON REPARATIONS

Antigua and Barbuda’s top diplomat in Washington, D.C., Sir Ronald Sanders has written to the president of Harvard University, urging the institution to fulfil its commitment on reparatory justice.

The institution’s Law School benefitted from a major endowment from Isaac Royall who owned slave plantations in Antigua centuries ago.

The letter was written by Sir Ronald on the instructions of Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne.

Sir Ronald expresses deep concern over Harvard’s abrupt termination of its Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program (HSRP) research team and the unexplained transfer of its responsibilities to an external genealogical nonprofit organization without any notification to the Antigua and Barbuda government. Sir Ronald explains what Antigua and Barbuda is requesting of Harvard University during an exclusive interview with ABS News.
