## **Aims and Purpose** 

MOSAF aims to advance the education of the public in the subject of history. This is particularly, but not exclusively, related to the history of enslavement and abolitionism focusing on Deptford. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

MOSAF has developed a specialist walking tour of Deptford relating to the historical connections between Deptford and the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans as well as abolitionism. It has also recruited several volunteers to carry out these walking tours. 

MOSAF has also shared its research findings with the community engagement officer for the Greater London Authority, Dr Melissa Bennett, as part of a new learning network for community organisations to use. 

MOSAF was requested by the Mayor of London’s office to provide feedback on the intended new memorial artwork to commemorate the people enslaved in the Transatlantic trade. 

The intended public benefits are that: 

- a) residents of Deptford learn more about their shared history whether as people volunteering with MOSAF or attendees on guided walks. 



- b) visitors to Deptford learn more about Deptford’s history relating to London’s role as Britain’s first slaving port. 

- c) organisations, such as the Mayor of London’s office or local schools, can obtain assistance in learning about London’s history as a slaving port or in obtaining feedback on new memorialisation initiatives. 

MOSAF has begun planning for a new website and held a strategy meeting.
