Laura Trevelyan's Journey From BBC to Confronting Colonialism and Ties to Slavery

Former BBC World News anchor Laura Trevelyan has left the broadcaster to confront her family's slave trade legacy and become a "roving advocate for reparatory justice" in the Caribbean. Trevelyan, whose ancestors owned more than 1,000 slaves across six sugar plantations in Grenada, said her professional success was linked to Britain's colonial history. She called on King Charles III to properly confront the British royal family's connection to slavery. Trevelyan said she felt "liberated" to talk about the issue of slavery after leaving the BBC, which holds staff to strict rules on impartiality.
