The BBC has posted a special section regarding the 200th anniversary of Britain’s abolition of the slave trade, to be commemorated this Sunday, March 25th:

Nigerian poet Tolu Ogunlesi has written a poem for the BBC’s Weekend Network Africa programme to commemorate the passing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act.

They are taking poetry submissions here.

A selection of them will be posted below and broadcast on BBC Network Africa.

I thought the one by Bill Taunton was pretty clever.
