Tracey Jane Campbell, acclaimed gospel singer, Author, Spurgeons Collage Graduate in Theology and founder of The Outlet House, performs live with the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir, one of the UK’s leading gospel collectives, and brings a powerful personal reflection as a descendant of the Windrush generation.
John Dower, representing The Heirs of Slavery, shares a rare perspective from descendants of British slave-owners who now call for acknowledgment and reparations.
Linda Reid, co-founder of the Black Restorative Network, and Rev Leon Dundas, former Head of Prison Inspection in Jamaica, explore what restorative justice and reparative action could look like for Black British and Caribbean communities today.
Why This Matters:
Understand how Britain’s involvement in enslavement and colonialism shaped the Caribbean and modern Britain.
