Josiah Wedgwood fu un ceramista e industriale pioniere che rivoluzionò la produzione di ceramiche. Le sue innovazioni e il suo approccio di fabbrica posero le basi per l'industria moderna. Oltre al suo acume negli affari, fu un appassionato abolizionista che sfruttò i suoi talenti artistici per sostenere la causa contro la schiavitù. Il suo iconico medaglione "Non sono forse un uomo e un fratello?" divenne un potente simbolo del movimento abolizionista, dimostrando il suo impegno a utilizzare la sua influenza per il bene della società.
