📚 Remembering Slavery and Its Abolition

Today, 23 August, we remember the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, a day to reflect on the history and legacy of slavery, honour those who resisted it, and consider its continuing impact on our world.

Our library book display brings together a selection of books to help us learn more about this important history and the voices and experiences connected to it.

You can also explore The Legacy of Slavery exhibition at the Edinburgh International Festival, running 22–30 August:

We invite you to browse our display and take a moment to remember, reflect and learn.
