“Hold them accountable” for slavery Grenada’s reparations committee tells its government
LEADING REPARATIONS campaigners in Grenada are calling on its government to begin talks about the country becoming a republic. “A conversation on Grenada becoming a republic and moving away graciously from the [British] Monarchy as head of state must commence in earnest,” Mr Gill said at a Reparations Forum held on Monday.
“We must join hearts and hands and as a strong, proud and resilient people demand justice! Fight for Fairness! And hold those responsible for the plunder, extraction and exploitation of our nation and for the inhumane treatment of our ancestors, accountable! Mr Gill addressed the longstanding legacy of slavery on the island and said “reparations cannot be seen as a side project.”
Mr Gill also said the government of the Caribbean country should move to remove the names of any buildings, streets or institutions that has links to colonialism and slavery.
