Tony Lloyd MP for Greater Manchester said:
"I am delighted that Dark Heritage has come to The Zion Arts Centre in Manchester at the end of its national tour. It's important that the progress made in 2007 in widening people's awareness of transatlantic slavery is carried on in 2008 following the end of the commemorative year of the abolition of the slave trade act in 1807 In the end it's the inhumanity of slavery and the humanity of the slaves that we are remembering."
