We found out about Wilberforce He was born in Hull in 1759. He became an MP and is famous for campaigning against slavery. Slaves were treated very badly and were punished a lot. Sometimes they were hit with a whip or they might have to work for hours on a treadmill.

These are our pictures of William Wilberforce, his home on the High Street (which is now a museum), statues to remember him and a picture of a slave ship.

Competition Winners In February, we asked you to send in your pictures of animals from the Chinese calendar. We got lots of great pictures, so thank you to everyone who sent them in. These are our winners.
