The Importance of Conviction

William Wilberforce gave his first major speech on abolition to the House of Commons in 1789. It was a moment in history that many consider the beginning of the end for slavery in Britain, something that wasn't fully abolished until August 28th, 1833. If you want to watch the speech as it was depicted in the 2006 movie called Amazing Grace, you'll find it starting at about 47 minutes and 17 seconds into the film.
