William Wilberforce has been a central figure in the British narrative around the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in 1807 and the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833. However, this narrative is not uncontested. From views of Wilberforce as a national hero in the nineteenth century, which fitted in with the prevailing narrative around white— and British—superiority, the dialogue around the abolitionist movement has moved towards acknowledging the erasure of enslaved people and Black abolitionists in the ensuing two centuries. This chapter discusses the ‘Wilberfest’ of 2007, when the 200th anniversary of the ending of the slave trade was commemorated in the UK, and the government rhetoric which surrounded it. It goes on to consider where commemoration around Wilberforce and abolition might go in the future.
