The Letters and Other Writings of Gustavus Vassa, Alias Olaudah Equiano, The African by Karlee Sapoznik

Gustavus Vassa was on the vanguard of the anti-slavery movement in England at the end of the eighteenth century. He provided a voice for people of African descent in the British Atlantic world. His Interesting Narrative has influenced countless works, both fiction and non-fiction.

Olaudah Equiano, also known as Gustavus Vassa, was a writer and abolitionist from the Eboe region of the Kingdom of Benin, according to his memoir. He was enslaved as a child and sold as a slave to a Royal Navy commander in the Caribbean. He was sold two more times until buying his freedom in 1766.
