What does the anti-slavery medallion say?
What the anti-slavery medallion designed by Josiah Wedgwood says is, "Am I not a man and a brother?" The words appear above an image of a crouched slave bound in chains. These medallions were popular among abolitionists during the late 18th century. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique jewelry.
