This is The Guardian.

Today we bring you the final episode of The Guardian's Cotton Capital Series,

investigating the paper's links to transatlantic slavery and the legacies of enslavement today.

Editor of the project, Maya Wolf Robinson, is looking at the subject of reparations.

What does restorative justice mean for descendant communities and what is the Guardian

planning to do for its own programme of measures?

Joseph Harker is the senior editor for diversity and development at The Guardian.

He's also been the co-lead on the legacies of enslavement project.

He's worked here for more than 30 years and has played a crucial role in

progressing an anti-racist agenda at The Guardian.

So, for journalists of colour like me, he's something of a living legend.

When I joined The Guardian, which was 13 years ago in 2010, my then boss,

Afwarsh, who pointed you out in the newsroom and said,

I wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Joseph Harker

and the anti-racist work that you'd done at The Guardian.

Lots of staff here who are people of colour, even call you Uncle Joseph,

for that reason. What drives you?

Shaking people out of their comfort zone when clearly their comfort zone is one which doesn't

challenge racism is one which sees liberal racism as acceptable.

It just needed to be done. I just thought, well, I've got to do it and if I don't do it,

no one else will. And I just needed to see change.
