The brutalit<\/strong>y of the slave trade.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1693, Captain Thomas Phillips embarked on a voyage from London to Guinea, 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.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2010, three centuries later, in 2010, Brecon Town Council made a startling decision\u2014to honour Captain Phillips with a plaque. Brecon Town Council\u2019s decision to honour Captain Phillips with a plaque ignites controversy.<\/p>\n

In this engaging and original narrative, Rosemary Caldicott analyses 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
