Three Unusual News Items - Congratulations

London Slavery Youth Debate - On Friday 19 October 2007 young people made history when they debated the abolition of the Slave Trade Act and its modern-day legacies with parliamentarians in the British House of Commons during Black History Month in October. At the invitation of East Hull MP John Prescott, more than fifty young people between the ages of 15-18 from the UK, 9 countries across sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States of America explored the shared legacies of the slave trade and its contemporary manifestations. We had representatives from the Academy at this meeting.
