Show Notes
A new Heritage report on the legacies of slavery in Jersey, released to coincide with Black History Month, has shown a number of people and places throughout Jersey's history have been linked to the transatlantic slave trade. One of the conclusions the report reaches is that No. 9 Pier Road, the Victorian House which forms part of the Jersey Museum, was built on proceeds accumulated from the trade. Following one of the report's recommendations, Jade Ecobichon-Gray, a member of the Jersey Heritage Diversity Group and founder of Mindset Matters Social Wellness Consultancy, will be guest curating an exhibition on Jersey's links to the slave trade, opening at No. 9 Pier Road in August 2022. She joins Express to talk about what the new report's findings mean for the island, and how Jersey can begin to include previously excluded voices in its heritage going forward.
