A PROTEST THROUGH POTTERY
By Sharon Gator
The fight against slavery came in many forms but for Josiah Wedgwood, one way to show his disapproval was the production of a medallion with an anti slavery message. It was just a small part of his work to support the abolition of the slave trade but it became a well known symbol of the campaign.
