@the_other_archive: This TikTok explores how the British Empire was built on Black lives. From the wealth of Liverpool and Bristol in the 18th century to the plantations powered by many Africans, Britain’s rise was funded by forced labor. When enslavement was abolished in 1833, the government paid reparations not to the enslaved but to slaveowners, a debt that taxpayers only finished repaying in 2015. Black labor built the empire, and the fight for justice continues today. #fyp #blackhistory #xyzabc #goviral #birmingham
