Hello Everyone,

I wanted to bring to attention three individuals who have played (and still plays) a significant role in achieving peace on a global level.

Campaigned to help outlaw slavery in Great Britain and promoted education, Christianity and animal welfare. He died just three days before The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 was passed, outlawing slavery in the British Empire.
