The Scott Trust today (Tuesday 21 April) announced the next pivotal stage of its 10-year Legacies of Enslavement programme, detailing new actions to address and atone for the Guardian’s historical links to transatlantic enslavement.

Launched in 2023, the programme acknowledges that the founder of the Manchester Guardian, John Edward Taylor, and his backers profited from transatlantic enslavement through their business interests in cotton and sugar. Among them was Sir George Philips, co-owner of the Success plantation in Hanover, Jamaica. Links were also identified between Taylor’s family business and plantations in the Gullah Geechee region of the US Sea Islands.
