Moelothia McLean: 我将和Diana Paton继续讨论James Williams的故事，他获得自由后与废奴主义者Joseph Sturge一起来到英国。我想了解更多关于他在英国的经历以及他如何参与废奴运动。 Diana Paton: James Williams的故事充满了复杂性。我亲眼看到James Finlayson在选择James Williams并将其介绍给Sturge的过程中扮演了重要角色，这为他日后的经历奠定了基础。James Williams和Joseph Sturge在1837年一同从牙买加前往利物浦，这标志着他参与英国废奴运动的开始。在英国，Williams向Archibald Palmer口述了他的回忆录，这本回忆录被废奴主义者广泛传播，产生了很大的影响。然而，尽管他的故事被广泛讲述，但他本人却没有机会亲自讲述。更令人惊讶的是，Sturge担心Williams会成为负担，最终决定送他回牙买加。通过Sturge的信件，我了解到英国废奴主义者和加勒比被奴役人民之间的复杂关系，以及Williams在这种关系中缺乏自主权。尽管如此，Williams的故事仍然是废奴运动中一个重要的篇章，值得我们深入研究。

Should they not want to work, the punishments were fast and brutal.
