About this listen

 Delve into the compelling autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, written in 1789, as he chronicles his life from being enslaved, primarily on galleys, to his pursuit of independence through biblical study, and his eventual attainment of freedom and success in business. Experience a unique perspective of slavery in West Africa and its stark contrast to the brutal slavery of the Americas. As one of the first widely read slave narratives, this work received significant acclaim. This podcast was created to mark the 200th anniversary of Britains abolition of the slave trade.
