And William Wilberforce the English politician who campaigned for decades and finally caused slavery to be made illegal for the first time in world history.
People talk a lot about equal rights, especially on Big Brother, so it's good to have someone like Ann on the show who knows about these important people from history and can maybe educate some viewers.
Freedom and equal rights all over the world today owe so much to the people she mentioned.

Totally agree, its a shame to think that a majority of the audience (I think) wont have a clue who any of those people are
