'The Bristol Slavery and Abolition Trail'. Bristol is well known for its involvement in the African slave trade, but less well known is its role in its abolition. Bristol was home to a number of prominent abolitionists, many of whom were also involved in other causes such as women's, childrens' and workers' rights. This trail visits sites related to the slave trade and its abolition, but also to exploration, prison reform and other related issues. 2007 is the bicentenary of the Abolition of Slavery Act. This book hopes to encourage this anniversary to be a celebration of human rights and an appreciation of the people who worked to raise awareness of them. The trail starts in the university precinct and wanders round Central Bristol.
