William Wilberforce: Quote for April 22, 2008

This is a slave ship, the Madagascar. It has just returned from the Indies where it delivered 200 men, women, and children to Jamaica. When it left Africa there were 600 on board. The rest died of disease or despair. That smell is the smell of death; slow, painful death. Remember that smell. Remember the Madagascar. Remember that God made men equal.
from: Amazing Grace (2006)
Ioan Gruffudd acted as William Wilberforce
