Ancient Greek figurine of a barber cutting a man’s hair, 5th century BC.

This is a very interesting new resource, The Register of British Slave-Traders.

'The Register focusses on the individuals who sought to profit from the enslavement of over 3 million African men, women, and children, whose identity was – for the most part – erased from the historical record.' 🗃️
