Some members of the black community have been demanding an apology for Britain's involvement in the slave trade, and last week the Mayor of London did apologies which was published in this weeks issue of The Voice.
The Mayor writes in the paper:
The British government must formally apologise for it. All attempts to evade this are weasel words; delay demeans our country.
Some members of Britain agree however there are those who feel today's Britain doesnt have to apologise for the slave trade because it happened 200 years ago. One of those people is journalist, Mick Hume who explains his opinion in this article (click here to read).
At the commemorative event I attended on Saturday, lecturer Dr Hakim Adi (a guest speaker at the event) when asked about a slavery apology, he replied: "If Tony apologised would you believe him?" he then called the Prime Minister, Tony Blair "a here today and gone tomorrow politician".
