The Memorial2007 Annual Lecture is hosted by the Institute of Commonwealth Studies and delivered by Professor Sir Hilary M Beckles, Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies.
The Global Reparations movement is arguably the most eruptive and influential political force sweeping the world. It is integrating the post-colonial global south into a transformative development discourse in relation to the legacies of colonisation in general and specifically the transatlantic enslavement of Africans for five centuries, undoubtedly the greatest Crime against Humanity in modernity. It is a global call for justice, equality, freedom and inclusive participation for all.
