"William Roscoe was an admirable man who holds a well deserved place in history for his work advocating the abolition of slavery. The Roscoe Lecture Series[1] is a fine legacy that commemorates his important role and serves as a good vehicle to promote active citizenship in today's society."
Jimmy Carter - 39th President of the USA
''Roscoe's contribution to Liverpool's cultural heritage is unparalleled. He is without doubt one of Britain's greatest patrons of the arts…”
Sir Bob Scott, Chief Executive of the Liverpool Culture Company.
"William Roscoe was a man of deep conviction and integrity, with an admirable and unerring belief in what was right. His refusal to appease supporters of slavery cost him his seat in Parliament. Yet he never became bitter or grew tired of doing good in his native city. His enlightenment and philanthropy and his initiative in establishing places of learning have rightly earned him a lasting place in Liverpool's heart."
Lord Alton
