After several decades of legal and political effort the financial exchange of slaves on the London markets was declared illegal and across England. It began the end of slavery in the west which would take more than a century, but eventually would result in freedom of slaves in the Americas and Europe and the west in general
Now in the 21st century world slavery is on the rise but for the most part gone in the west. I would love some recommendations on special exhibits or things done on Wall Street or London by the financial institutions remmembering the event. I am going to London and would love to see any exhibits England has regarding the end of slave trade in 1807
Any suggestions from any Londoners? Any museums or special historical exhibits you would recommend relating to William Wilberforce and the people of his day?
