Cannot find Lascelles in any of the books on my shelves on anti-slavery.

Was it just my imagination that the late Lascelles (in the light of his
slave owning ancestors) had been involved in anti-slavery & reparation
activities?
There's no mention of it in this Guardian obit and a google search didn't
bring up anything either.
I had had the idea that Harewood House had taken the lead in acknowledging
its slave links and trying to address legacies of slavery.
I guess I was wrong.
