In the late 18th-early 19th century, William Wilberforce led the fight in Britain, first to end the slave trade, then to outlaw slavery. Now a black bishop has preached the sermon at the wedding of a prince to a black woman. Yesterday, Wilberforce was smiling in heaven.

significant & uplifting that he gave the sermon for this transformative event.

The effort by Wilberforce & others to abolish the slave trade & slavery was righteous, I admire their dedication greatly.
