Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745—31 Martii 1797[1]), vivus Gustavus Vassa appellatus,[2] fuit prominens Africanus Londiniensis, qui explorator, scriptor, mercator, libertus, et abolitionista motui Britannico servitutis abolendae in Britanniarum Regno favit. Eius autobiographia, The Interesting Narrative, anno 1789 edita, quae animos hominum ad se late convertit, magni momenti aestimabatur ob Actum Commercii Servorum 1807 perlatum, qui commercium servorum Africanorum in Britannia et eius coloniis prohibuit.
