About the Exhibition

​Discover the untold stories behind the British postal service’s role in transatlantic slavery at this exclusive morning view of Voices of Resistance, a striking new exhibition at The Postal Museum, in collaboration with the Knowledge Quarter.

​Uncover hidden histories from the Caribbean island of St. Thomas – where mail, power, and exploitation were deeply intertwined – and hear how new research and personal archives are reshaping what we know today.
