立即实现赔偿正义!”

下周,当查尔斯国王和英国首相安迪·伯纳姆穿过安提瓜首都圣约翰前往参加英联邦领导人峰会会议时,将看到这些标语。

King Charles and the UK prime minister, Andy Burnham, will be greeted with messages as they travel through Antigua’s capital, St John’s, to attend meetings at the Commonwealth leaders’ summit next week.

在广告牌、标语牌、T恤衫、信件以及为纪念跨大西洋奴隶贸易期间被贩运至安提瓜和巴布达的数千名非洲人而举行的烛光守夜活动中,来自加勒比地区的信息将无处不在:奴隶制赔偿不是他们“能够躲避”的问题。

On billboards, placards and T-shirts, in letters and at a candlelight vigil for the thousands of Africans trafficked to Antigua and Barbuda during the transatlantic slave trade, the message from the Caribbean will be pervasive: slavery reparations is not an issue they “are going to be able to dodge”.
