This exhibit is organised by the Fitzwilliam Museum and endorsed by the Department of Global Communication Outreach Programme on the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. It is in connection with the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade (25 March).⁠
