on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Presented by Mr. C.L R. JAMES

After a very full survey of the last hundred years' struggle for slave emancipation this series comes this week to a practical examination of life and labour conditions in countries where slaves have gained freedom. This talk will describe the welfare of the descendants of freed slaves in the West Indies and America. In the West Indies, negroes, under the guidance of European advisers, have founded industries, laid down plantations, built schools, churches, and libraries.
