slavery

abolition condition

January 7, 2022 ~ jim clayton ~ Leave a comment

here’s an interesting fact
the Slave Compensation Act
1837
question:
who d’you think got paid – the abusers or the abused?
if you think it’s the latter you’re sadly confused
and before you say it’s a historical scene
we only stopped paying in 2015
