The Guardian today announces Ebony Riddell Bamber as the programme director of the Scott Trust’s legacies of enslavement project, following the publication of its report in March.
In the newly created role, Ebony will work closely with the Scott Trust, Guardian colleagues, and an advisory panel of experts to oversee a long-term programme of restorative justice in response to research into links between the founders of the Manchester Guardian and historical transatlantic slavery.
