A BBC journalist has quit their job to join the Caribbean’s fight for slavery reparations.
Laura Trevelyan has left the broadcaster to become a full time “roving advocate” on the campaign to secure financial payback for the Caribbean from former colonial powers like England.
She spent 30 years at the BBC and her aristocratic family made history for publicly apologising for owning more than 1,000 slaves across six plantations, and paying reparations.
