Most of the public say British Museum should have permanent display on slavery
MOST of the public think the British Museum should have a permanent display on Britain’s role in the trade of enslaved African people, a new poll has found.
Commissioned by Good Law Project and The World Reimagined (TWR), the report revealed that this view was shared by 53 per cent of respondents – more than double those who felt there was no need.
Another two-thirds agreed the museum has a role in educating the public about Britain’s history in the slave trade.
