How do you sell an empire based on chattel slavery as an economic, political, and social good? #EAS#Summer2024 author @Dvd_B_Ryden addresses the dark history behind Edward Long’s unsuccessful pitch for colonial Jamaica as a paradise for white settlers. https://t.co/jfz2knTCFr
Thank you, Bill Davis, for your years of service to our majors! Academic advising connects the students to the university, and your work had a crucial impact on many students’ lives. We wish you all the best for your next challenges in life!

On behalf of @WilberforceHull we recognise the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition on 23rd August and commemorate the many millions of people who were caught up in this crime against humanity.
