Calls for UK Government to Apologize and Make Amends for Slavery Profits
Descendants of wealthy British slave owners, including a second cousin of King Charles III, have launched a campaign called "The Heirs of Slavery," calling on the UK government to apologize and atone for the country's historical links to slavery. The group is working to shine a light on the UK's deep involvement in the slave trade and is calling for families that benefited from slavery to come clean and use their wealth to benefit the descendants of those who were trafficked. The British royal family has also expressed sadness about their links to slavery, but have not issued an apology.
