Image of slaves at Liverpool

The image of six African slaves at "the port of Liverpool" must be somewhere else, probably in Africa, as it is highly unlikely that the African seller would be in England. I tried to find the original of this image but it seems to be used with many different captions so I've no idea which is correct. (Incidentally, are there records of slaves being brought back to Liverpool and if so, how many were there?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.15.246 (talk) 12:00, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The IP appears to be correct, the original image caption says in Africa and bound for US, therefore no connection with UK at all.Pincrete (talk) 13:04, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

contextulisation

the African and Asian guests at a pub dinner given by the African and Asian Society found themselves seperated from other guests by a screen placed in the room^[1]

so, cordless lary proposed i put this here for a discussion of where to contextualised this information — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menacinghat (talk • contribs) 23:21, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

^ "Ayahs, Lascars and Princes: The Story of Indians in Britain 1700-1947".

Just inserting that example into the article isn't helpful, in my view. It needs more context. Do we have sources that establish that this was typical of the time, for example? Why are we picking this example rather than others? Cordless Larry (talk) 13:07, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

nb edit conflict

I'm not sure what point is being made, implicitly that there was prejudice against/distaste of these people, of which this is an example. It isn't even clear who was segregated, the society members from the general clients of the pub that night or the white and non-white society members from each other. If the point is that there was prejudice, I would have thought a better, more general statement would be clearer covering something broader than this incident.

Film reel

Agreed. I feel the same about this. Why are we singling out this one film reel to open a section with? Cordless Larry (talk) 17:50, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the material about the film reel. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought, but if the film is in the public domain, would a captioned 'still' work as an image? as suggested here "would this be better as an image if poss?". Pincrete (talk) 22:04, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that might make more sense - using it to illustrate the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
