People\u2019s University of Fishponds \u2013 Sunday 30 June 2024 \u2013 7:00pm \u2013 The Nissen Hut, Eastville Park, Bristol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1693, Captain Thomas Phillips embarked on a voyage from London to Guinea in the Hannibal<\/em>, where he purchased enslaved Africans on behalf of the Royal African Company. The subsequent journey across the Atlantic witnessed a tragic toll, with hundreds of the enslaved captives, and many of the crew, losing their lives before the ship reached the shores of Barbados.

Fast forward to 2010, three centuries later, in 2010, Brecon Town Council made a startling decision \u2014 to honour Captain Phillips with a plaque, a decision that ignited controversy.

Rosemary Caldicott<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>returns to PUF, analysing the pages of Phillips\u2019s journal to reveal the day-to-day brutality that defined the triangular trade, uncovering the forgotten stories of the victims in this dark chapter in history. She also reveals the compelling story of the campaign to remove the plaque, a campaign that finally bore fruit amid the world-wide \u2018Black Lives Matter\u2019 protests that reached the heart of Brecon.<\/p>\n
