Dear colleagues
We're in the process of putting together and exhibition regarding local connections with the transatlantic slave trade.
Can you advise me what is the convention? to capitalise the b in black or not when referring to black servants. For eg:
"It was fashionable for wealthy families to have black servants in their households"
many thanks,
Kath
