Yr5 Newham-Primary Cross-Arts - The Freedom Project.

Approximately 360 children in Newham, from nine different schools, took part in the 2007 Primary Cross - Arts project. Through Drama, Music, Dance and Art, the children learnt about the abolition of the slave trade in 1807.

They have also been learned about; the harsh reality of slavery still happening today; the slave Olaudah Equiano, who bought his own freedom and wrote an autobiography; Thomas Clarkson who campaigned tirelessly to abolish slavery and as a local link, they have been exploring the story of an albino slave called Amelia Harlequin who was documented as having been in West and East Ham in the late 1700s following her escape from a touring 'Birds and Beasts' exhibition.
