Royal Family News – Reverend Denies Aiming Racism Speech At William And Kate

Reverend Mariama White-Hammond told Page Six that when she made her speech, she did not know about the racism scandal back in the UK. She said, “As a person of African descent I often begin anything I say with a land acknowledgment, I want to bless this space and acknowledge the beauty and the painful history.”

During her speech, White-Hammond told a packed crowd that included William and Kate, “On this day, I invite us all to consider the legacy of colonialism and racism. The ways it has impacted people across the world and its connection, its deep connection to the degradation of land and our planet that we are all seeking to reverse. The stories lost, the species made extinct, but also the persistence of people in the face of oppression and the fundamental dignity of all of our relations.”
