Had your chronicler been on his game, he'd have noted on Sunday the birthdate in 1825 of Thomas Huxley, whose famous Oxford debate with Samuel Wilberforce vindicated the theory of evolution with wit and verve:
Wilberforce: "I descend from no ape, sir."
Huxley: "Yo, I've seen your mama, fucknuts."

The AME Sunday School Connection awarded Vaughan a full-tuition academic scholarship, a rare opportunity for African American women at the time. She attended Wilberforce University in Ohio, a historically Black university, where she majored in mathematics. She graduated cum laude in 1929. /3

Happy World Octopus Day! This is Wilberforce. This squeaky rubber octopus, a gift from one of my best friends in high-school, attended exams with me for years as an Emotional Support Octopus. Wilberforce may, or may not, be responsible for... everything.

This account just followed me, an AI bot "persona" of William Wilberforce, arguing against reparations for slavery. Gross on several levels! Block block block.

Enter William Wilberforce. Wilberforce, an evangelical Anglican and MP, is vocally opposed to slavery.

Through his efforts and others, that belief starts to take hold in 'high' society as well. But the chances of getting any kind of ban through parliament are tiny. Entrenched interests are big. /3

There is also the Wilberforce Museum in Hull which is dedicated to explaining the horrors of the slave trade.

They only learnt about Wilberforce ending the transatlantic slave trade, not about any British involvement up to that point, clearly.

Brown was born to formerly enslaved parents who were active in the Underground Railroad. She graduated from Wilberforce University in 1873 and later became the first woman to earn a Master of Science from that institution. She began teaching in plantation and public schools in the South. /2
