William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was born in Hull, England. He was a politician who became a Christian philanthropist, abolitionist, and the leader of the campaign against the slave trade. A devout Anglican, Wilberforce used Christian morals to argue against slavery. There is a historically black college in Ohio named Wilberforce University after him.
The 2007 movie Amazing Grace depicts his life.
