Belle

Belle2013



John Davinier:
'Tis pitiful. Such inability to simply know what value to put on another's life.

Dido Elizabeth Belle:
What price a worthless negro?

John Davinier:
You utterly misunderstand me. I am saying that no man may have the value of cargo. Human beings cannot be priced since we are priceless - free men and slaves alike. I am with others here. All students in law, applying pressure on the insurance companies to refuse from hereon to insure slaves on any ship.

Dido Elizabeth Belle:
But that would require a change in law.

John Davinier:
How can we expect to be civilized when we live in such a barbaric world? It is the utter injustice.

Dido Elizabeth Belle:
It is more than that. It is the shame of a law that would uphold a financial transaction upon that atrocity.
