SUMMARY:Author's Talk—The Promise of Freedom for Slaves Escaping in British Ships: The Emancipation Revolution\, 1740-1807
DESCRIPTION:To Blacks\, Britain’s Emancipation Revolution rang out louder than the Declaration of Independence. Drawing from his recent book\, historian Theodore Corbett traces the emerging path of freedom for Africans and African Americans in the late-eighteenth century by discussing major social shifts and political events in Great Britain and her American colonies—the Great Awakening\, Lord Dunmore’s proclamation and the American Revolution—to demonstrate how they all led to Parliament’s abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire in 1807. \nRegistration is requested.
