FAMOUS NAMES LINE UP FOR
THE WILBERFORCE PROJECT:
A COMMEMORATIVE ALBUM CELEBRATING 200 YEARS
SINCE THE ABOLITION OF THE UK SLAVE TRADE

WILBERFORCE 200 is a compilation album commemorating the bi-centenary of the abolition of slavery. This is an exquisite collection of popular songs, sung by famous music artists we all know and love, and some we don't...

The CD features performances by legendary acts such as Billy Ocean and Ruby Turner as well as younger well known musical figures such as Roachford and the X Factor's Maria Lawson to name but a few. The album features both new songs and classics such as 'You've Got A Friend' and 'Respect'

'Wilberforce' is named after William Wilberforce, the English politician and philanthropist, who headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade, culminating in the passing of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. 200 years later in 2007 - to commemorate this important historical landmark - the City of Hull has run events and activities throughout the year focusing on slavery and emancipation, with special focus this October on Black History Month.

Unimaginable as it seems, slavery and bonded labour still persists today. Although the slave trade was officially banned in the early 1800s, the last 50 years have seen a resurgence of slavery due to changes in the world's economy and societies. Factors such as population growth (particularly in the developing world), rapid social and economic change, as well as corruption have all made their mark.

The Wilberforce 200 album is not just about history and Hull, but about connecting with projects and partners to put the abolition into a modern context. With music being such a powerful force of expression, this compilation is the perfect partner to such a vital historical event.
The launch of the Wilberforce project will take place on the 25th October at the Wilberforce House Museum in Hull, with the album launching early in 2008. Proceeds of the album will be donated to the charities Save the Children, Freetown Society and the Prince's Trust.
