Edmund Dene Morel

E.D. Morel
While working as a clerk supervising shipments from the Congo Free State, Morel became aware that imports of ivory and rubber were being manufactured through slave labor enforced by Belgian King Leopold II's colony. Affronted by this, Morel quit his job and became a journalist, detailing the atrocities that occurred in Congo. He became a big advocate for change, founding the CRA, Congo Reform Association. [1 ]
