were slave-traders. That is how they made their money. When the English outlawed the slave trade the Barclay brothers went into banking. It made them even richerÂ…But people just a little older than I am can recite the name of and the day the first black person was hired as a cashier at this very same Barclays Bank in Antigua. Do you ever wonder why some people blow things up? I can imagine that if my life had taken a certain turn there would be the Barclays Bank and there I would be both of us in ashes. Do you ever try to understand why people like me cannot get over the past cannot forgive and cannot forget? There is the Barclays Bank. The Barclay brothers are dead. The human beings they traded the human beings who to them were only commodities are dead.
