The Equiano Society in partnership with The Drum presents

Equiano: His Life & Times

A conference exploring the life and times of Olaudah Equiano.  A former slave, successful business man, and campaigner against slavery, Equiano’s best selling auto-biography was the most important British anti-slavery text of the late eighteenth century and played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement in the UK.

This event will bring together national and international scholars, students, and community activists to debate and discuss Equiano’s legacy followed by an evening of poetry, dance, and performances.
