Original: Kemi Badenoch says Africans should apologise for slavery. She should read a history book By Micha Frazer-Carroll Enslave

Business secretary and Conservative leadership contender Kemi Badenoch has sparked controversy after suggesting African nations should apologise for slavery. Writer Micha Frazer-Carroll, responding in the Guardian, argues she should read a history book, pointing out that enslavement's devastating impact on Caribbean and African nations makes cross-diasporic solidarity central to addressing slavery's legacy today.

Why now: Badenoch's remarks provoked sharp debate over historical responsibility for the transatlantic slave trade.
