UoB IAS Slavery: Legacies and Remembrance - Ros Martin

Bristol was a major player in the slave trade during the eighteenth century but there are scarcely any traces of this history in our city today. The importance of this abominable commerce on the fabric of our city -- from its rich multiculturalism to its Georgian elegance -- has still to be recognised. The panel will take perspectives from different parts of the world and discuss how Bristol might acknowledge, face up to and carry forward its past.
This event took place on 26 June 2014 in the Great Hall of Wills Memorial Building, University of Bristol. It was an Institute for Advanced Studies public panel discussion in association with the Bristol Festival of Ideas.
