Culture: How Scripture Became Part of the Story that Ended Slavery

19th June 2020

For centuries, the Scriptures were twisted and distorted to provide support for racism and race-based slavery.

25th March 2014

March 25th marks the anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain.
