Olaudah Equiano was one of the most prominent people of African heritage involved in the British debate for the abolition of the slave trade. He wrote an autobiography that depicted the horrors of slavery and helped influence British lawmakers to abolish the slave trade through the Slave Trade Act of 1807. This is his story.I hope the reader will not think I have trespassed on his patience in introducing myself to him with some account of the manners and customs of my country. They had been implanted in me with great care and made an impression on my mind which time could not erase and which all the adversity and variety of fortune I have since experienced served only to rivet and record; for whether the love of one's country be real or imaginary or a lesson of reason or an instinct of nature I still look back with pleasure on the first scenes of my life though that pleasure has been for the most part mingled with sorrow.-Olaudah Equiano
