Bedfordshire schools debate on slave traders' statues
Samuel Whitbread's debate teams pose with their certificates - Credit: BEST “Having the opportunity to work with an organisation such as FJSS, and hear from Sir Geoff Palmer OBE, was an amazing opportunity and I’m sure one they will never forget. “The role of statues that honour those with a history of involvement in the slave trade is a contentious one, so giving young people the opportunity to debate this issue with someone who is widely regarded as a leading figure in this area was truly fantastic. I’d like to thank everyone involved in organising such a worthwhile event.”
