You may be interested in what's happening in my home City (the home of William Wilberforce) now and throughout 2007.

Wilberforce 2007

Of course, 1807 didn't free the slaves, it only stopped the trade. It was another 30 years before the slaves were free, after 'adequate compensation' was paid to their 'owners'.

I agree with most of what's been said here, the futility of apologising for something that none of us were involved in, without making every effort to stop what is still happening now. But there is still value in making sure that more people know what happened in the Atlantic Slave Trade, who was involved in it, who profited from it and how it was suppressed. Please look at the links I've supplied, and, if you feel able, support the campaigns they identify.
