  • Naomi on The stories we don’t tell about slavery

    It is wonderful to read of the other side of the story about the "abolition of slavery" in this article and in the article "A rose-tinted view of empire stops us seeing what we really owe the Caribbean" (Big Issue 1640). Visiting the Wilberforce Museum in Hull a number of years ago brought home the degrading way human beings were treated. The only puzzle that was not explained was how the slave traders were able to capture so many people at a time as they had no army to help them do so by force.
