We’ve created a resource to complement the Breaking The Chains walking trail. The Trail selects 28 points in the city that have a connection to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Our resource uses these points as inspiration to highlight opportunities to make connections with local and global issues of injustice, through better understanding the inequities of the past.
