Hi from Karla Hi Brian, what an amazing adventure you are on. I will be in London 4/28 through 5/2, not sure if you will be heading back to London, but thought I would throw it out there. Enjoy every moment of your travels and be safe. RJ says Hi.
Re Slavery in UK >>A little history - England woke up to slave abolition much later >>than in the US. It also may’ve been behind the times on black >>suffrage not sure.
You've got to be kidding!
Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. This act gave all slaves in the British Empire their freedom. The British government paid compensation to the slave owners.
There has never been a colour bar on suffrage.

Another world...so very old, yet fundamental to our history Such a contrast between the modern and original architecture. Great descriptions of your feelings.
