Fred mentioned the book about Thomas Clarkson and the sugar boycott he organized in England to fight slavery. London's daily paper The Guardian's review on Bury the Chains by Adam Hochschild is a brief summary of the story. The Wikipedia biography of Thomas Clarkson and shows the image of the slave ship Fred mentioned that was next to every pub dart board. The Wikipedia biography of William Wilberforce describes the conversion of this British MP to the abolitionist movement. (This was the other guy Fred was thinking of.)
