In this film, Hackney residents discuss the slave trade and colonialism, the legacy of enslavement and the importance of teaching African and Caribbean History.
They address the repercussions of enslavement on society today, and the need to find a unified voice to speak for Hackney’s African and Caribbean communities.
This film was made for the Abolition 07 exhibition (March to June 2007), which commemorated the bicentenary of the abolishment of the transatlantic slave trade by the UK Parliament.
