The English Heritage Organization has put together a tour in England related to the abolition of the slave trade.
“When the stories behind our local streets and landmarks are told they can give us a glimpse into the history on our doorstep. The late 16th to early 19th centuries – the period of Britain’s most active involvement in the transatlantic slave trade – have left a wealth of evidence in records and the historic environment that today tells the story of anti-slavery campaigners from all backgrounds, of those who grew wealthy on the trade in human lives and also of those who were themselves slaves in England but nevertheless left their mark on history.”
So far you can choose from The Slave Trade and Plantation Wealth, Black Lives in England, and Abolitionists.
