The headlines
of the past few weeks made me think about my home town Liverpool which played a
significant part in slavery in the past. In fact the city’s wealth and
expansion was built on it. There were more slave ships running in and out of
Liverpool in the late 1700s than there were either in London or Bristol. So is
it now time for the city to follow the lead elsewhere and remove evidence of
those people responsible? Or should we
continue to acknowledge it as an example of wrong doing.
