In the late eighteenth century Olaudah Equiano (c.1745–1797) became one of the most prominent and influential black voices of the abolition movement in Britain. • Equiano was 11 years old when he was kidnapped, enslaved and transported to the West Indies; West Virginia; and England where he was baptised in St Margaret’s Church, Westminster. In 1766 in the Caribbean he ‘bought his freedom’ and was recognised as a free man. Between 1766 and 1780 Equiano continued to travel, before settling in Britain in the 1780s. He became a prominent figure of the abolitionist movement and published his autobiography The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano in 1789. (https://www.parliament.uk/about/art-i...)
