200th anniversary of the act passed by the British government abolishing the transatlantic slave trade. As the article says though, it was still some time before the institution of slavery itself was abolished (and even then it still exists around the world today).

Sorry, I’ve just taken a whole course on slavery this year grin

It’s because the link is missing the colon from http:// so your browser assumes the link is in a folder called http/ in the same folder as the slavery page…
