Explore Black history and trace Jamaican ancestry with Paul Crooks in this insightful masterclass on the 1834 Slave Compensation Records.
Join this Black history masterclass with Genealogist and Black History Speaker, Paul Crooks, as he delves into his ancestral research regarding the British government’s 1833 legislation to end its system of enslavement.
This event sheds light on the largest state-sponsored payout in British history before 2008, where Britain raised the equivalent of £20 billion to compensate slave owners for the ‘loss of human property.’ Discover how taxpayer money enriched those who had already profited from slavery, and explore the concept of reparations in this historical context.
Paul Crooks will discuss his journey tracing uncompensated ancestors enslaved in Jamaica. He will reveal documentary evidence of compensation linked to the enslavement of his ancestors.
This talk offers valuable insights on how historical records can illuminate the stories of your ancestors, deepen your understanding of Black history, and explore the broader discussion on reparations for historical injustices.
