Ellen and William Craft ended up in London \u2013 and now, more than 170 years after they arrived, a blue plaque marks their former home in Hammersmith.\nJoining us to discuss their journey to England and abolitionist campaigns are English Heritage\u2019s senior historian for blue plaques, Howard Spencer, and Dr Hannah-Rose Murray, a research fellow at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in the history of enslaved people.\nTo learn more about the Crafts, go to https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/ellen-and-william-craft/\nLearn more about your ad choices.
