William Wilberforce

In 1787, at the age of 28, William Wilberforce wrote a personal mission statement: “God has set before me two great objects: the suppression of the Slave Trade and the reformation of manners.” Remarkably, by the grace of God, 50 years later Wilberforce had largely achieved his goals of abolition and cultural renewal in Great Britain.
