Prince Charles has called on the history of trafficking by slave traders of African people to be taught as widely as the Holocaust in Britain, according to reports. A royal source told The Sunday Telegraph that Charles had noted that, “at a national level, we know and learn at school all about the Holocaust”.
“That is not true of the transatlantic slave trade,” the source continued, adding: “There’s an acknowledgement that it needs to happen.”
The Prince of Wales yesterday told Commonwealth leaders the potential of the family of the nations for good cannot be realised until we all “acknowledge the wrongs which have shaped our past”.
