It's funny. Wilberforce is well-known and a hero to the Christian homeschooling community, who celebrate his accomplishments and association with John Newton. However, he is ignored by the secularists (and their government schools), who claim to be the enlightened, color blind conscience of the nation. Probably too "Christian."

Interesting perspective. Thanks.

I think it has more to do with having to thank the man for starting the end of slavery in western civilized countries.

Remember that to the MSM, the reparations folks and slavery victimization folks, it is not allowable to thank a white, Christian man for anything.

They cannot abide the thought that it was Christians, and even worse, evangelical Christians, who pretty much on their own brought down one of the oldest and most evil of human institutions. In England and in America.
