A message from Theresa May to slavery traffickers \u201cWe are coming after you\u201d. While remembering and honoring the history, it\u2019s worth being aware that Slavery never goes away.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Every year on 25th March, International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade provides the opportunity to honor and remember those 15 million men, women, and children who suffered and died in the slavery system, the transatlantic slave trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the main ports that played a vital role of fitting out slave ships and handling the cargoes they brought back, Bristol transported over 500,000 people from Africa across the Atlantic throughout the 17<\/span>th<\/span> and 18<\/span>th<\/span> centuries. Instead of bringing slaves into Britain, slaves were actually transferred to America and worked for huge plantations, which may also explain why there are few traces left for people to explore in Bristol. \u00a0However, a slavery tour may help you find secrets hidden by these unassuming buildings and streets, to explore the dark history of this bright city.<\/span>
