The exhibition, part of a research programme, will be accompanied by workshops held at the museum and a lecture series in collaboration with select Nigerian universities.
According to the organisers, an exhibition titled “Local Voices Against Slavery” will open on July 8, 2024, featuring displays of Nigerian figures who have fought against slavery.
The exhibition will trace the history of resistance to slavery from historical victims who became abolitionists, such as Olaudah Equiano and Nicholas Said, to early missionaries like Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and James Johnson.
