The legacy of Livingstone
"19 March 2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of David Livingstone. This explorer, writer, missionary, medic and anti-slavery campaigner rose from humble beginnings in a Lanarkshire tenement to become celebrated as 'Africa’s first freedom fighter.' Join us in rediscovering a man whose life and legacy has spanned continents." www.davidlivingstone200.org
David Livingstone spent much of his life in Tanzania. Indeed it was in the West of Tanzania, next to lake Tanganyika that he met the American journalist Sir Henry Morton Stanley, who was alleged to have greeted him with the now famous words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
