Discover the names and places associated with Bristol’s thousand-year fight to end the city’s involvement in slavery, from Saxon times to the nineteenth century.
From M Shed to the Colston plinth, this two-hour journey will give an insight into the lives of some of the main characters who made this history happen – from African freedom fighters to international campaigners such as Thomas Clarkson, Mary Carpenter and Frederick Douglass.
