Guardian Media apologises for its roots in Slavery, announces £10m restorative Justice

HOPEWELL, Hanover, April 1, 2023 – The sleepy community of Success in Hanover could be the surprise beneficiary of developmental assistance, occasioned by the apology from the owners of the UK Guardian media company for the role the newspaper’s founders played in transatlantic slave trade in Africans.

The Success plantation in Hanover co-owned by George Phillips, comprised the area including Mount Lebanon, Thompson Hill, Pearce’s Village, Bessie Baker, Forrest, Gurney’s Mount, Axe and Adze and Golden Grove as well as Mount Peto.

Phillips was the Manchester Guardian backer mostly deeply linked with slavery. He was a wealthy textile industrialist, politician, West India merchant and enslaver.
