YouTuber to use own family connections to explore Aberdeen’s links to the slave trade

Description

Bruce Fummey, whose channel has just under 200,000 subscribers will be appearing at the University of Aberdeen to deliver a 'deeply personal talk' on Scotland's historic slave trade.

Neil Curtis, head of museums and special collections, who assisted Bruce with locations and items from the university's collections for the film, said: "The story that Bruce tells in his video powerfully shows how entangled all our lives are in the legacies of transatlantic slavery."
