Balanced or biased? (Above)
What’s our view of people & places?
How would you reflect life in Britain with just one image – would it be a picture postcard village or Notting Hill Carnival? Fish and chips, haggis or a chicken tikka masala? A homeless person in a doorway or Windsor Castle? It would be impossible – any of these images would give someone unfamiliar with Britain a very unbalanced view. The same difficulties arise with images of people and places anywhere in the world

The Slave Trade 200 years on:

Mamma Lizzie was born in Tennessee in 1890, the daughter of freed slaves. The world’s oldest person, she died last month aged 116. Her life was celebrated by the media, but her death reminds us that the slavery of history books is relatively recent – just one lifetime away. Between 1450 and 1850 it’s estimated up to 28 million Africans were sent to the Americas and sold as slaves. Britain was the dominant trader, transporting more than 300,000 slaves a year in shackles on disease-ridden ships. A fifth died of disease and starvation on the journey.
