Subject: RE: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
Actually the UK ended the slave trade in 1807, with emancipation coming much later in 1834.
Hull is home to Wilberforce House, birthplace of William Wilberforce and now a museum about the slave trade. It re-opens next year with a series of other events to mark the Bi-Centenary.
