Hello everyone!
After research over the summer, two of our history students - Fergus Kirman and Sarah Clark - have produced a website cataloguing the story of Christ's College and enslavement:
https://www.legaciesofenslavement-at-christs.com/
If you're interested in how members of the College benefitted from and supported slavery across the British Empire (between 1685 and 1887), then we invite you to take a look!
Fergus and Sarah will be discussing the website, alongside Hollie Wright presenting her research into the opponents of slavery who attended Christ's, tomorrow (Friday 28th October) at 5pm in the Yusuf Hamied Centre.
We hope to see you there!
Legacies of Enslavement at Christ's is a project aiming to research the complex connections between members of Christ's College and enslavement in the British colonies. In 2022, we created a database of College members who benefitted financially from enslavement, or who supported it in public.
