Trinity College has pledged to donate £1m over five years to Cambridge Caribbean Scholarships
Trinity College said its new Legacies of Slavery Research and Teaching Fellow would consider the ways in which the college might have gained from slavery.The fellow, to be appointed in October, will also explore any contributions by Trinity members who opposed slavery. "Only by facing our past can we pave the way towards a more equitable future, where all members of our community can thrive free from the shadows of oppression and discrimination.
"This research will enable debate and discussion from a wide range of perspectives, both within the college community and with the wider public," he said.Recommendations were made for the establishment of a research centre at Cambridge and for funding for new partnerships in Africa and the Caribbean, including Cambridge Caribbean Scholarships.
It’s never too late to set the facts straight. Let it be known to all as people think they know.
Without the generation of wealth through slavery, Britain would have had nothing! Slavery runs through the veins of nearly everything in Britain- people, places, palace's, prince's, priests.. Legacy of slavery is in every architectural building and the aristocracy.
Remember kids, Cambridge University do not own slaves 👍
Just wondering, if they find that their college was built with gains from slavery, will they knock it down?
The Romans invaded us. Yes or fucking no? Everyone invaded everybody. The End.
Mohammed kept slaves and was a slave trader When can we expect to do a piece on how Islam was founded on slaves and reparations are due? Or doesnt the Barbary slave trade count?
Tell them not to worry, the Tories are introducing policy to make modern slavery legal again
It's in the past
Yawn!
When will they check England’s link to slavery?
Lol. Universities are infested with the mental disease of wokeness
Ridiculous
This sh*t is getting really tiresome now. What’s the point in like long back over 20 years just so you can censor, destroy & self flagellate to ‘atone’. Can’t we just look forward rather than back now? This is pointless
Isn't that what they have been doing since the beginning of the woke era started...how about just use the money to help educate people, you know the original point of setting it up
Woke Cambridge Students HATE Historian's FACTS - Rafe Heydel-Mankoo via YouTube
Better to worry about modern slavery, The past only seems to exercise a few narrow minded single agenda academics who make a living out of spouting BS and causing division in the process.
They could get some mug to pay for a degree in it.
Pandering to the morally bankrupt left again.
Shut these woke Universities down. Their ridiculous guilt is very boring. Any institute over 50 years old will have a history which, when judged against current standards, will be seen as not acceptable. At the time they were however no different to any others. Get over it
It might be more helpful if these academics could study the effects of the current slave trade in Africa other parts of the world, and perhaps suggest some solutions. The past is complex and full of blame across many nations including African countries
Cambridge: The Slavery legacy sounds much more boring version of Hogwarts: Legacy game..
Never knew they still employed slaves 😱😱😱
Cambridge, a once great institution
That’s not Trinity. Jeez
BBC waiting to examine its peadophile present!
Cambridge university was built and funded on the exploitation of the white British working class. The academics will just ignore that though and jump on the woke bandwagon, they will probably give money to the descendants of the black slave traders and owners in Africa instead…
You an not change history only Learn from it. You can not hide history. Cambridge is not the great city of even 25years ago. I much prefer Norwich.
What a waste of money and time!! It's not going to change a damn thing!!!
More woke bollocks incoming 🙄
Now slaves to wokery
Why are Conservatives looking for guidelines for their Freeports? Is RishiSunak looking to sell the British public off again? He will have to hurry before the exodus to better countries begins. Dear British public the world is calling out for workers, pack up and move.
Then what?
Self flagellation continues.
Abolish Brit hating Cambridge indoctrination centre for middle class posh traitor types now & bin the traitorous woman hating sick snobby professors
LOL while keeping silent on the UK's ending of global slavery at huge financial and material cost...socialist grifters.
Groan.
Who brings all this Crap up see if they took note of British people wanting Rid of an Horrendous amount of Asylum seekers & any other illegal sod that shouldn't be on these shore 🇬🇧 the UK would be a Happier place what Date is this goin back to 50s 40s last century
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
The Royal Navy captured 1,600 slave ships, freeing over 150,000 slaves in the 19th Century, costing around 2,000 sailor's lives. But modern media ignores that side of the history.
Every country in the world has been invaded, get over it
Black or white slavery? Up until 1842 this country was still sending children as young as six down mines. Catholics were treated as criminals and demonised until 1829 and still hated after that and Jews had to wait until the 1860s to be freed from discriminatory laws.
It happened. You can't erase the past. Learn from it.
That's how you excel in style. ⭐️
Yes they used to own a bunch of slaves There, examined it Now what? Burn it down?
