Biography of Mahommah G. Baquaqua

Dive into the captivating life story of Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua, a West African native who endured the harrowing journey of slavery in 1845, only to escape from his captors in New York in 1847. His thirst for education led him to the New York Central College in McGrawville, where he studied for nearly three years. An eventual move to Canada, and his collaboration with abolitionist Samuel Downing Moore led to the publication of his autobiography. Baquaquas narrative carries the unique distinction of being the only known document about the slave trade from the perspective of a former Brazilian slave.
