Description:

Bristol Mercury 25th May 1833. Newspaper extract called Negro Rhythms.

The language used to describe people of African descent in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries is unacceptable in today’s terms. We cannot avoid using this language in its original context. To change the words would impose 20th century attitudes on history.
