Who was William Wilberforce?

awesome movie about him called amazing grace.

he was far more than that, he was also a proponent of the rights of the poor. a social reformer.

A truly great man!

While it was good that slavery was abolished we must never forget that it does still go on. Every day countless young people are forced into prostitution, and people of any age are made to work for a pittance. If you have any doubts that there may be slaves somewhere PLEASE report it to the authorities, you might just save someone's life.

Does anyone think the picture looks like a photo - even though it can’t be because of the dates? 🤔🤔

SOOTI, I think it is now believed more people are living in slavery than at any time in history. Just because something becomes illegal does not mean it stops

It is a tragedy that he died the month before it was outlawed in the Empires

There is a Movie about this wonderful man's life and His fight to free slavery in England,it is called Amazing Grace. You can find it on line or any Christian Book shop.

I will do more research on him.

Stu, me too for 37 years

Again another point of information that QuizzLand has opened me UP to I didn’t know anything about this individual!! He was a great man and a better Christian it was a shame he died before the actual legislation was enacted! I will definitely watch the movie Amazing Grace thank you players for the support

I actually live in Kingston Upon Hull

88888889, It could be a photo? The first one taken was in 1826, 7 years before he died...

88888889, Could it be one of those metal pictures,?

This was a good person who was wise enough NOT to follow his Bible.
