Revealing Histories: Remembering slavery

Bonboniere 25 March 2007 marked the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Act. Eight museums and galleries in Greater Manchester have been commemorating this anniversary by exploring the legacy and impact of this history on the region. For more information visit the Revealing Histories website.

Throughout 2007, Community programmes ran a series of projects which reveal some of Manchester's hidden histories and share local people's understanding about objects in our museums and galleries.
