As calls for reparations grow louder, advocates say a renewed wave of Pan-Africanism is uniting Africa and the Caribbean in the push for justice and historical accountability.

Programme Manager of Culture and Community Development at the CARICOM Secretariat, Dr Hilary Brown, says these discussions are being held at a time when there’s a renaissance of Pan-Africanism.

Speaking at the Emancipation Support Committee’s Kwame Ture Memorial Lecture Series, she said Africa and the Caribbean diaspora have taken up the fight on economic dependency, unfair trade systems, resource exploitation, and the lingering wounds of enslavement and colonialism.
