One of the best videos I've ever watched.
Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Lysander Spooner, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Grimke sisters,
Senator Sumner, Will Garrison, these are some of the greatest liberators.
Thank you for posting it.
The music is appropriate for it also.

A Hero?
Wilberforce's views of women and religion were reactionary: he disapproved of women anti-slavery activists such as Elizabeth Heyrick, who organised women's abolitionist groups in the 1820s, protesting: "[F]or ladies to meet, to publish, to go from house to house stirring up petitions these appear to me proceedings unsuited to the female character as delineated in Scripture."
Guess no ones' perfect eh?

You have to remember the time that Wilberforce lived in took it for granted that women were dainty housewives who didn't mix with politics. While nothing to brag about, such views were common among both sides in the slavery question. Topay, of course, we're a little wiser.
