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.

Advert for Hulmes Chocolate Works
Description:
Advertisement, for Hulmes Chocolate Works, Mary-Port Street, Bristol. Felix Farleys Bristol Journal.
Cocoa, which was used to make chocolate, was grown on slave planations in the Caribbean and brought to Bristol for processing.
Chocolate was first used as a drink, sweetened with sugar to mask the bitter flavour of the chocolate. Later it was used for making eating chocolate. At this period, most people drank beer, wine or spirits. Water was not safe to drink, tea coffee and chocolate were expensive. Quakers promoted drinking chocolate as an alternative to alcohol.
