In thankful remembrance
In 1785 the divinity called
him to stand up against injustice.
It changed his life
completely.
On May 12, 1789 he held his
speech in the British Parliament,
in which he
described in detail the horrible conditions
in which slaves
travelled from Africa.
On March 25,
1807 the result of his continous campaign against slavery
was the complete
abolition of slave trade.
But he did
not give up and worked on against injustice.
In August
1833 one month after his death
all British
slaves got their freedom.
He did succeed.
His birthday is August 24.
