“I’M DISAPPOINTED” – SIR HILARY BECKLES REACTS TO CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY’S REPARATIONS OFFER

Head of the Caricom Reparations Commission and Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles is disappointed with an offer from the United Kingdom’s Cambridge University.
Cambridge has accepted it benefitted significantly from the slave trade and wants to make amends, but Sir Hilary says what has been offered is not good enough.
The historian who is at the vanguard of the regional reparations push, says Cambridge University should consider collaborating with The UWI on a centre for economic development to transform the region’s economies.
