These pages are a very brief guide to the commemoration of the 1807 Act that ended slavery in United Kingdom. Here you can read about the people and groups involved in the abolition process and read the full text of the act. There are links to other sites if you want to look at things in more depth in the Links tab at the bottom of the page.

Please remember you may also need to read and research Afrikan, American, Caribbean and European Histories as many events are interrelated, as this trade in human misery touched so many people, countries and continents.
