Free exhibition, open to the public every Thursday and Friday between 12-6pm.

This exhibition brings together portraits of the influential figures of the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries who played an important role in slavery and the anti-slavery history of Newington Green Meeting House, its surrounding area and worldwide. Through the portraits of abolitionists, the formerly enslaved, and slave-owners we shed light on our understanding and acknowledgement of the role that slavery has had in the history of the Meeting House and in Britain’s socio-economic and cultural development. This will form a part of the Meeting House’s commitment to improving our understanding of the socio-cultural and socio-economic legacy of slavery, its political legacy, and its consequences.
