William Wilberforce fue un político británico, filántropo y destacado abolicionista, conocido principalmente por su campaña de toda la vida contra el comercio transatlántico de esclavos. Como miembro del Parlamento, desempeñó un papel fundamental en la aprobación de la Slave Trade Act de 1807, que abolió el comercio de esclavos en el Imperio Británico. Sus esfuerzos se extendieron más allá del abolicionismo, ya que también impulsó reformas sociales más amplias y fundó organizaciones influyentes como la Church Mission Society y el precursor de la RSPCA.
Un cristiano devoto, el trabajo de Wilberforce estaba profundamente arraigado en sus convicciones religiosas, que impulsaron su compromiso con las causas humanitarias. A pesar de enfrentar una oposición significativa y luchar contra problemas de salud crónicos, se mantuvo firme en su defensa de la justicia moral y social. Su legado perdura como un símbolo de perseverancia y liderazgo ético frente a la injusticia sistémica.
