255 years ago, a “force” was born into this world. The aptly named William Wilberforce would prove to be instrumental — not just in ending legalized slavery in England, but sparking unprecedented social reform in the Western World, and also in setting a framework for future generations to follow his path of persistence, faith and sacrifice for others.
Wilberforce still inspires generations of social reformers and political leaders over two and a half centuries since his birth.
Wilberforce has lessons for pro-lifers. One of the most important is an acute understanding of the obstacles that block success and how to combat them — an understanding of the nature of social evil and the forces that sustain it. The campaign against slavery was much more complicated and difficult than portrayed in the familiar movie, Amazing Grace. While the movie is stirring, it provides only a snapshot of Wilberforce’s taxing campaign, just the first 20 years of Wilberforce’s campaign against the slave trade, from 1787 to 1807.

I highly recommend the movie about William Wilberforce.
The race baiters need to understand Wilberforce rather than point fingers and promoting guilt.
