The Black Abolitionists that Shocked Victorian Britain

History Extra (BBC History Magazine) has written an interesting article that documents the Black Abolitionists that shocked Victorian Britain. In their fight to end the horrors of slavery, African- American abolitionists travelled to Britain to rally support. This article details the work of Frederick Douglass, William and Ellen Craft, Moses Roper and Ida B Wells. Urquhart Media hope that Strike For Freedom: Frederick Douglass in Scotland can be the beginning of a series of films telling the stories of these African-American abolitionists and their time in Britain.
