Black Current News is a media partner for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations’ UK Reparations Conference, taking place this Saturday, 17 October, at Friends House in London.

The free event brings together grassroots organisers, campaigners, policymakers, legal experts and international partners to discuss reparative justice, with options to attend in person or online. Ahead of the conference, we explain what reparations mean, the history behind the demands and what putting them into practice could involve. Why are people calling for reparations? Rooted in resistance to enslavement and colonial oppression, the reparations movement has been sustained by generations of grassroots campaigners and descendants of enslaved African people.[1]
