The APPG is very pleased to announce its inaugural Reparations Conference, bringing together campaigns, institutions, and individuals to discuss the issue of reparations for the transatlantic kidnap, trafficking, enslavement, colonisation and continued exploitation of Africans and people of African descent across the world.
Registration is now open for this two-day interactive conference, which is taking place between Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd October 2023 at Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London (NW1 2BJ).

It will be free to attend and will feature sessions on a range of policy issues as they relate to reparatory justice – from the restitution of artefacts to land rights, education, employment, environmental justice, economics, law, culture, and many other areas beside.
