talk i had w/ 1st year

After talking with two of the first years both black about their own experiences with the Liverpool Slavery Museum and their own experiences of it.

One of the Girls believed that the Museum wasn't good enough. The way it was only a floor of the museum similar to the titanic however the titanic was one singular event and slavery is a minimum 200 years worth of human rights abuse. She also mentioned how having the KKK uniform glass protected and lighted was disgusting as it preserved the ideals of oppression and was almost solely designed in away to empathise with white people rather than educate about the horrors of slavery.

I want my prints to not shy away from slavery and disacknowledge britian and white peoples role in it.
