The Guardian confronts its founders' ties to slavery.

The Scott Trust, owner of The Guardian, has apologized for the role the newspaper's founders had in transatlantic slavery and announced a decade-long program of restorative justice. The trust is expected to invest more than £10m, with millions dedicated specifically to descendant communities linked to the Guardian's 19th-century founders. The restorative justice fund will support projects in the Gullah Geechee region and Jamaica over the next decade after consultation with reparations experts and community groups. The Guardian also announced plans to expand its reporting of Black communities in the UK, US, the Caribbean, South America, and Africa.
