225 years ago, 12 people sat around a table in a bookshop in London and founded an anti-slavery organization in England. It took them and those who joined them just 20 years to achieve the legal end of the slave trade across the entire British Empire, smashing a vast industry and setting the stage for the abolition of legal slavery everywhere. What they began is ours to finish.
