Amazing Grace: Historical Accuracy The 2006 film Amazing Grace depicts the struggle of a British parliament member named William Wilberforce as he worked tirelessly toward the abolishment of The Atlantic Slave Trade in Great Britain.

“The Gestures of Grace” By Alison Melotti-Cormack The meaning of the story written by the author is to tell people of an older age group that if you become a teacher, you should learn things about yourself and learn that even if you have some of the hardest times, that you should still try and be a good teacher.
