Caribbean leaders meet with senior clergy from the Church of England as calls for slavery reparations intensify, according to reports including an Associated Press dispatch from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The meeting takes place as activists broaden the campaign beyond reparations, also pressing for changes to the political status of territories in the region. In addition to seeking compensation linked to slavery, some activists call for independence for British, French, Dutch and US territories. The reports describe the gathering as part of a wider push by regional figures to elevate the issue in public and diplomatic conversations. While the articles focus on the meeting itself and the associated demands, they do not detail specific outcomes or commitments made by Church of England representatives. The coverage indicates that the campaign continues to gain momentum and that leaders are reaching out to influential institutions as they seek support for reparations and, in some cases, self-determination for overseas territories.
