Forum 2: “The World Turned Upside Down:” Atlantic Revolutions

Topic: Olaudah Equiano’s life was extraordinary on many accounts. Born in Africa, captured and taken into the Atlantic slave trade, he managed to escape that life and become an Evangelical, a world-renowned author, and a much sought-after speaker. Along with William Wilberforce, he was instrumental in presenting evidence condemning the transatlantic slave trade that led to the British Empire banning the trade in Africans in 1807. 

For this discussion board, present to the class your impressions of the life and significance of Equiano. What stood out to you and why? You might explore the following:

  • life in Africa
  • his description of the middle passage
  • the role of Christianity in his life
  • his escape from slavery
  • life in the Atlantic
  • his role in the anti-slave trade movement
