Mark Carney(@MarkJCarney):On this day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire. Slavery existed here. While the Act marked a turning point, freedom was not granted in a single day. On Emancipation Day, we honour those whose courage helped make our country freer, fairer, and stronger.
