Exciting, profound, joyful, local and global: British writers, artists and musicians
They brought honesty and common sense, fair play and compassion, bravery, daring, and self-discipline, and a passionate love of liberty to a 2000-year-long struggle to achieve freedom.

They were a fellowship of men and women, slave and free who changed the world.
