Josiah Wedgwood Libros
Josiah Wedgwood fue un alfarero e industrialista pionero que revolucionó la fabricación de cerámica. Sus innovaciones y su enfoque de fábrica sentaron las bases de la industria moderna. Más allá de su perspicacia empresarial, fue un apasionado abolicionista que aprovechó sus talentos artísticos para abogar contra la esclavitud. Su icónico medallón "¿No soy un hombre y un hermano?" se convirtió en un poderoso símbolo del movimiento abolicionista, demostrando su compromiso de utilizar su influencia para el bien social.
