INTERNATIONAL SLAVERY REMEMBRANCE DAY - 'PERO JONES', MANSERVANT TO JOHN PINNEY - PLANTATION & SLAVE OWNER AND BRISTOL MERCHANT - GEORGIAN HOUSE, BRISTOL

I had a brilliant day assuming the role of "Pero Jones", manservant (and a slave till the day he died) to John Pinney - A Plantation and Slave Owner on the Island of Nevis, West Indies (Caribbean) & Bristol Merchant. The 'live interpretation' of Pero took place at The Georgian House, Bristol - where I dressed up in 18th Century livery/attire and spent the day chatting to families, youth, students, teachers, tourists etc: 

Thursday, August 23 marked UN International Slavery Remembrance Day and to commemorate this day, visitors were invited to Bristol Museums Galleries and Archives to discover more about the city’s history and the legacies linked to transatlantic slavery.
