We'll be meeting at 2pm on Thursday, October 2nd at Sweet Claire's on 3rd Street and Grant to discuss Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African. The link included here will take you to a project Gutenberg site, but you might also consider reading several texts that were published along with Equiano's in an anthology called Unchained Voices: An Anthology of Black Authors in the English Speaking World of the Eighteen Century. The following texts are available through Box:
Unchained Voices, "Introduction"
Belinda, "Petition of an African Slave, to the legislature of Massachusetts"
Benjamin Banneker, "Copy of a Letter from Benjamin Banneker to the Secretary of State, with His Reply"
George Liele "An Account of Several Baptist Churches"
