British Black History Icon - Olaudah Equiano (1745 - 1797)

British Black History Icon - Olaudah Equiano (1745 - 1797) Olaudah was born in Nigeria. As a child he was sold as a slave and taken to America. During his time as an enslaved person he had several different masters, the last of whom allowed him to buy his freedom. Olaudah travelled to London where he worked initially as a barber. Olaudah was an early campaigner against the slave trade (an 'abolitionist') and key to his success was his autobiography The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, in which he described his early life and the horrors of slavery. It was immensely popular during his lifetime and helped the passage of legislation banning the slave trade in the UK, which happened in 1807.
