"Permit me, with the greatest deference and respect, to lay at your feet the following genuine Narrative; the chief design of which is to excite in your august assemblies a sense of compassion for the miseries which the Slave-Trade has entailed on my unfortunate countrymen. By the horrors of that trade was I first torn away from all the tender connexions that were naturally dear to my heart..." So begins this autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, a well-known African in London and a former slave who supported the British movement to end the slave trade. First published in 1789.
