Gladstone descendants in historic apology for slavery

By Antonio Dey
The descendants of slave owner, John Gladstone yesterday offered a historic apology for slavery and indentureship here amid a small protest at the University of Guyana (UG) where a diaspora studies centre was being launched
Following the reading of the apology there was an audible declaration of rejection and then protestors held placards demanding full reparations in a move that appeared to have caught the organisers of the event off guard.
