All pupils to learn about slavery
Britain's involvement in the slave trade is to be studied by all secondary pupils in England from September.
Children will study the development of the trade, colonisation and how slavery was linked to the British empire and the industrial revolution.
Pupils will also study characters like Nigerian-born slave Olaudah Equiano, one of the prominent African figures who campaigned for abolition.
Hull of course has its place in the abolition of slavery being the birthplace of William Wilberforce.
