I noticed that the image of shackles appears on the pages of formerly enslaved people but not on the pages of abolitionists. Why is this? It's as if we definite the people who were formerly enslaved as forever tied to this imagery. They may have escaped slavery as young people and spent the rest of their lives pursuing their visions of freedom. Why should they still be identified with shackles when they so passionately wished to leave that identity behind for themselves and others? The shackle imagery doesn't acknowledge the whole arc of their lives and the powerful impacts they had on our societies. 199.204.33.18 (talk) 16:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think some examples would be useful here, rather than others having to look through the articles of former slaves to see what you are talking about. I just checked the page for Olaudah Equiano and see no shackles. LastDodo (talk) 17:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Image
Since slavery has appeared in vastly different forms over the centuries, I think one lead image alone would not do it justice. Why don't we include a multi-image display of slavery from ancient times to the present day to help inform readers how it has changed over time. Thoughts anyone?

The image should reflect 'slavery' as best as possible. The current image only shows a whipped man. Imagine the image was of some white dude with a whipped back. Would that represent 'slavery'? Not really, even though there no doubt have been many white slaves with whipped backs. Something with people with shackles or neck-rings and doing some work would probably be more appropriate as even though not all slaves wore them, it captures the essence of slavery, which is that one is unfree and forced to do labour of some kind. I think the previous image Relief depicting slaves in chains in the Roman Empire, at Smyrna, 200 CE. captured this a bit better, but its not brilliant and I'm not averse to a photomontage.
