Anti-Slavery International
New publication: 1807-2007: Over 200 years of campaigning against slavery
Anti-Slavery International has produced this publication as part of its campaign to use the 200th anniversary of the end the slave trade in the British colonies in 2007, to raise awareness of both historical and contemporary forms of slavery.

2007 will see the commemoration of the end of the Transatlantic trade in African people. To mark this anniversary, I am seeking articles by writers and artists about the relationship between African Diasporic/Black history and artistic expression by people of African heritage. Click here to read the Poem, "The Blood", which explores these themes. It takes a few moments to load.


Please submit your article for consideration for my new website. This project is funded by Arts Council England. For more details, send an e-mail to Arts@blacksuccess1.com
