A Black history masterclass discussing Black resistance and the rise and fall of enslavement in the British Colonies in the Americas.

When researching his family’s black history, Paul Crooks discovered his great great great grandfather walked free from a sugar plantation in Jamaica in 1838. Paul wanted to know more about what lay behind the decision to free the enslaved people of the Caribbean.

Paul argues since profits were the main cause of enslaving Africans, then declining profits must have been the main reason for abolition

Paul will highlight the economic reasons for abolition
