Sugar nippers - Interesting to have objects that were used

Interesting to have objects that were used during slavery. This gives me some history on the effects of slavery.

This is a label written by a visitor to Manchester Art Gallery in response to the Revealing Histories: Remembering Slavery Gallery Trail of objects on display that are linked to the transatlantic slave trade.
