| 1641112684790775809 | @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @LauraTrevelyan @GlobalPlayer Hi Jon, you might need to clarify your comments as they have not landed well. The legacy of slavery and wealth extraction that ran uninterrupted for 400 years rings true today. That you are not impacted does not invalidate the struggle of others. Please retract. | 2 |

| 1641110400480555009 | @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel @LauraTrevelyan @GlobalPlayer @jonsopel might it be you have no sense of being owed anything because you are relatively wealthy? It's easy when you don't want for money. | 11 |
| 1639637986730967040 | Wow!! A powerful and moving article by @LauraTrevelyan, my fellow UN press corps alum. This is definitely my recommended reading for today. It's a personal story of reckoning with her own family's historical connection to slavery and steps taken towards restorative justice. https://t.co/Me7cxAv6x6 https://t.co/ZTCm7lo78A | 9 |
