In 1772, one man’s fight for freedom changed history. James Somerset, an enslaved African in England, stood before the King’s Bench Court — and won. His case, Somerset v. Stewart, became the first major legal blow against slavery in British history. This video brings that powerful moment to life — when Lord Mansfield declared that slavery had no place in English law. One verdict. One man’s courage. A spark that lit the path to abolition. #JamesSomerset #SomersetvStewart #HistoryShorts #BlackHist
