On this day in 1999, Bernie Grant MP called for an official state apology for enslavement and colonialism during PMQs.

Racism didn’t appear by accident. It was engineered.
It is not just about words or attitudes, but material conditions: who owns wealth, who holds power, who has access to housing, healthcare, safety and dignity.
To truly tackle racism, we need reparations.

‘It goes beyond getting a cash refund for slavery’: Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder on the case for reparations
Yesterday evening, we welcomed Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder to Parliament to talk about their new book, ‘The Big Payback’.
Great to get their insights on reparations and how we can take the case for reparatory justice to a mass audience.

The call for reparations has survived centuries because it speaks to something beyond politics.
It speaks to the human need for recognition, justice and dignity, and to the possibility of renewal.
Not just for the nations that were wronged, but for Britain itself.
