In Part One we explored Dido’s beginnings, her mother’s enslavement and her father’s capture of the slave ship that held her, the many mysteries surrounding Dido’s birth, and her father’s radical decision to bring Dido and her mother back with him to England. We then explored Dido’s upbringing at Kenwood House, Lord Mansfield’s important presiding over the Somerset case, and how Dido may have influenced his revolutionary decision. In Part Two, we finish Dido's immense life story and honor her lasting impact on English history.
But Dido's story cannot be removed from the dark history of slavery itself. As much as Dido’s story attests to what was possible against all odds, we have to equally remember all that wasn’t possible for so many others like her. As we honor Dido’s life, we honor all of the lives of the people who were not as fortunate and were subject to the cruel and inhuman system of slavery.
