This is most fitting given that Manchester led Britain's campaign against the iniquitous system.
On the tour, guide Ed Glinert explains why the coat of arms features a slave ship, contradicting the Guardian's badly-researched story that it isn't.
The tour starts at Victoria Station wallmap at 11am. Booking on Eventbrite.
