- City of Liverpool, England - the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool. Let's visit the very interesting International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, England, which is part of the National Museums Liverpool group. The International Slavery Museum displays untold stories of enslaved people, including historical and contemporary slavery. There is a section at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, about life and culture in West Africa before the transatlantic slave trade, the history of slavery and also displays and special exhibitions about the legacies of slavery and current human rights issues.
The International Slavery Museum opened on 23 August 2007, the date of the annual International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition marking the beginning of the slave uprising in Santo Domingo. The year 2007 was particularly significant as it was the bicentenary of the United Kingdom's Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the slave trade (though not slavery itself) in the U.K.

We were at the exhibition last week. This is a very informative video. Hopefully it will encourage people to visit.
Hello, thank you for your comments!!
I remember visiting here when I was younger with school, I definitely want to revisit here and educate myself further on my city’s past and how we have learned from it and became the fantastic city we know today.
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Liverpool Slavery Museum, one of the best kept 'secret' in Liverpool/UK!
This should be a required trip for all school children who grow into adulthood not knowing about the origins of british colonizing past!🧠🌎☯️
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Hi Vic, here's a not very well known fact, the very first slaves were Irish, but because they were deemed weakly build, The English decided to look else were for a stronger better build slave, and found Africa an ideal location to pick the crop of sturdy Slaves
Wow, what an interesting fact, thank you for letting us know!!
@@VicStefanu Please don't fall for revisionist history. No such thing ever existed as an Irish slave
Thx Vic 👣📹👍& your amazing knowledge 👏
Thank you!! 👍👍👍
And they want us to forgive I will not
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
I didn’t even know this museum existed
Hi Loren, thank you for watching my videos!
For nearly 60 years now,The Royal Liverpool Historical Society has been engaged in a battle to throw off the yoke of oppression that was foisted upon it by Beatlemania. Your video has helped us greatly Mr Stefanu.
Thank you for your wonderful comments my friend!!
Is any of the current football Teams founders in Liverpool link to slavery?
@VicStefanu...The challenges were several. Prof. Ira Berlin, University of Maryland, has pointed out in his many works on the subject that the Mid Atlantic crossing covered some 400 years. In still another work, this time by novelist James Michener, entitled "Caribbean," the author says that the odor of effluvia coming from the bowels of the ships carrying human cargo could be smelled some two miles in advance of docking in Caribbean ports.
James Michener is still my favorite author and I have several of his books and I have read 'Caribbean'. Having being to Barbados and Antigua, I have seen the original sugar plantations and I still cannot believe that humans would do such horrible things to others... I am a big believer of the Holocaust but this 400 year history of slavery is equally comparable...
The museum in Liverpool is a joke, they talk about slavery but they don’t have any of the old artefacts there and the real hardship that the slaves went through, they made it out like we done them a favour,
There is a video on CZcams called fight against slavery ,
There are 3 parts to the truth, and it is sickening and shocking to learn what we really done to them.
Hi Steve, thank you for your comments!!

Great video Vic. We live 30 miles from Liverpool but have never been to the museums. I remember watching the TV drama series of 1977 Roots and being shocked at seeing how those people were treated. Tell me Vic, how do you find people's reactions over here in England when they see your camcorder compared to countries abroad?
I do not have a camcorder, I have a SONY camera (which causes less of a hostile reaction when recording).. The English people are (mostly) friendlier to the camera that certain cultures, as long as someone does not do the obvious stupid things (such as videotaping kids, women in Muslim countries, etc).. I can teach a graduate course on how to videotape safely.. The secret is also to always ask before videotaping (I do it here in India right now for example).. Chances are that people will say 'yes'.. But, if one never asks, that he/she is asking for trouble..
I can imagine a camera looking less likely to cause attraction. As you may have noticed, I now walk around with my GoPro camera on my cap which gives me total freedom than walking around holding a camcorder as I did throughout the 90s when on trips out with my Wife and Daughter. I know the GoPro gives a fish eye view, however this is much better than nothing at all lol. The only time I have faced opposition to using the camera was in my home town! This was when two security guards prevented me from filming in the market. These were two individuals who were clearly acting on their own agenda. As always Vic, great camera work again.
Thank you!! I wonder how you can videotape with a GoPro on your cap.. what about stability problems on the videos??
The is also another CZcams documentary tittle "Liverpool was the largest Slave port in the World" By the BBC.
This actually frightens me as someone of African decent because I Lover Liverpool FC
You do realise that Roots was fictitious, that slaves weren't taken by Europeans like that. They were bought from other Africans who kept slave. Read what Thomas Sowell says about it, himself an African American.
Interesting so my family is from Liverpool it looks like. A John Clare and his father William Clare & Co slave traders from Liverpool to West Africa and Jamaica. A William Clare from Lucea here in Jamaica is my line of Clare family. Even in Jamaica they keep this first name William as William Boyle Clare is another of my line. They also sea captains here and into sugar farming. So i do have a link to Liverpool and the slave trade here in the Caribbean.
Hello, thank you for sharing with us these interesting comments!!
He said absolutely incredible Wow can't believe what I'm hearing
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Hello Vic miss your videos
Hi, thank you for viewing my videos...
Thanks
Thanks for watching! 👍👍👍
Wow.
Thanks for watching! 👍👍👍
Being a scouser who left at 16 to join the HM Forces I've never been to the museum. Does this museum cover the British people who were enslaved by the Roman Empire, The Normans and the Vikings?
No, it does not...
Also does it cover the Babary Slavers who took white slave or the millions of African taken by the Arabs?
@VicStefanu...I'm stopping your most informative video at 13:14 to point out that Prof. Ira Berlin, University of Maryland, points out an historical similarity as to residence by Africans outside Africa that as late as 1863, there were some half a million Africans living on American soil who had never been enslaved, called "free persons" or "free peoples," said demographic forming a buffer between white and black populations. The following: is important to remember: that the argument from birth doesn't alter the fact that the African on American soil didn't become a citizen until the ratification of the 14th amendment in1868. Personally, I think the argument from birth unintentionally opens up Pandora's Box in later discussions on citizenship. Indeed, why wouldn't some groups migrate to a more progressive social order, have children on the soil by birth, then claim citizenship. Can we not see a flood taking up such a practice?
True and this is why some countries do not provide citizenship rights from the mere fact that one was born there.. Germany is an example of this where many Turkish children have been born there but still they are not German citizens..
@@VicStefanu I guess those children are called sons and daughters of NO Nations, because tell me where these children are going to gain citizenship then? I know you would say, From the place or country where their parents came from, Well that country can easily say, no , you were not born here, your birth certificate states, you were born in German, England or France or wherever.
Deuteronomy 28:68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.🧔🏿
Deuteronomy curses for not listening to our God..28:49 "The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth as a swift as the egale flieth a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand"👩🏾
Romans 9:13 "As it is written Jacob have I loved, But Esau👨 have I hated"
Isaiah 14:2 " And the people shall take them and bring them to the place and the house of isreal shall process them in the land of the Lord..for servants and handmaides and they shall take them captives whose captives were they and they shall rule over their oppressors".
A terrible trade let's remember run by both Europeans and African managers.
True.. American as well...
Yes. True. In a long ago work done by journalist John Gunther, entitled "Inside Africa," the author shows that this dark business antedated the coming of the British. Not to be overlooked is that fact, not necessarily caused out of humanitarian concerns, the bloody intertribal wars were put down. But remember this, too, that the slavers weren't exactly looking for Mother Teresa to do business with, were they? You could also argue that the African "managers" got rid of "excess baggage" in pretty much the same way European managers emptied their prisons of social undesirables.
Jay Young I have no doubt you are right and we know history is constantly being rewritten to suit fashion. The point is that life was tougher and more unfair for everyone then. This included the cruel exploitation of poor children in the factories of the early industrial revolution.
meandmymouth Indeed. Sorry to have observed this unfortunate turn of social events: that those who were once at the margins of life are now those leading the charge to keep the doors of opportunity closed for those left behind. For instance, I wonder what a genealogy of one Sean Hannity would reveal? How did it come to be that he is THAT conservative? I grew up among conservatives, yet none were that conservative.
When a nation enslaves its own people that is a family matter, when a nation enslave another nation that is an act of aggression a declaration of war.
Terrible 😡
Hello, thank you for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
Wrong! It was the desire of slave traders to deliver their cargo in good condition. Bringing ashore emaciated slaves would greatly diminish their value. Whereas, the ships’ crews had no value. He makes that statement of emaciation and then shows the menu which negates his his narrative. Furthermore, slaves were regularly ‘danced too keep them fit. I have sailed the slave trade route from the Capo Verde islands to Antigua on the South East Trade winds. You know you are in the SE trade winds when the butter melts!
Hello, thank you for these interesting comments!! 👍👍👍
So basically the English went to Africa and belted blacks over the head and chucked them Inna boat to America... Right favour if you ask me
No they didn't, they were bought off Africans who enslaved other Aricans.
@@johnhouldingloyal and if they didn't like it exactly what I said 5 years ago schmuck
Actually it was the Africans that belted other Africans over the head, sold them to Spanish traders who then chucked them onto Spanish and Portuguese ships bound for Spanish and Portuguese holdings. Once there, they were chucked onto other boats and smuggled to America, as the importation of new slaves into the US was banned by the 1830s.
@ryanward8039 British history suggests tbe African leaders sold the slaves too so that's kinda bad news if you're a angry person hell bent on justice and find out you're people got sold out by your own
