Hi everyone,
=20
I would like to recommend a wonderful piece in Mother Jones about the =
movement to end the transatlantic slave trade and the "first great human =
rights campaign." It makes fascinating reading . Human rights =
activists and anti-trafficking/anti-slavery activists will find the =
story especially interesting as the struggles and tactics speak directly =
to our work a century and a half later.

The first great human-rights campaign -- the movement to end slavery in =
the British Empire -- had no business succeeding. But the legacy of its =
extraordinary achievement lives on today.
