Olaudah Equiano and Mary Prince Posters
£5.00 for both
Equiano lived in the mid to late 18th century and campaigned to end the slave trade, working alongside William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharpe. He died before the slave trade was legally ended in Britain (in1807) but had spent many years travelling to inform the public about slavery including writing a very successful book of his own life experience.
Mary Prince lived most of her life enslaved in the Caribbean, where slavery was not legally abolished until 1834 after the passing of the Slave Emancipation Act a year earlier. By this time Mary was in London and had presented her testimony about the horrible conditions endured by the enslaved to the ladies of the Anti-Slavery Society.
The personal testimonies of these two remarkable Black heroes contributed immeasurably to the campaigns to bring about the legal abolition of the slave trade and then the abolition of the institution of slavery in British territories overseas.
The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust has worked with schools to create biographies about these heroes. The posters in this pack have been created using the art-work by Manchester pupils and students for the biographies.
The posters are A2 and in full colour and you can buy both posters for £5. You can can also buy the posters as part of our Abolitionist Heroes Pack. This pack contains a copy of each biography and both posters for just £12 (individual RRPs total £13.99).
