If he were alive today, I am sure my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather would be pleased to receive the warm thanks and generous words from the grateful masses regarding his part in the abolition of slavery and subsequent enforcement of this around the world.
I imagine he would be very disappointed to hear that despite his best efforts, slavery is still very much a part of daily life in some wider reaches of the globe.
Still, with all the celebrations to mark his success, it's surely just a matter of time before all the wonderful caring people who are so deeply involved in the commemoration turn their attention to those nations and those people who still engage in this barbarous trade.
Isn't it?
