Image title
Job, son of Solliman Dgiallo, High Priest of Bonda in the Country of Foota, Africa'. Portrait head and shoulders of a black man wearing a book around his neck and a turban, looking outwards. Ayuba Suleiman Diallo (named Job ben Solomon in England) was an educated Muslim nobleman from the kingdom of Futa (in modern-day Senegal), who was captured in 1730, enslaved for two years in Maryland, then freed through the efforts of Thomas Bluett, an English lawyer, who compiled and published Job's memoir in 1734. Bluett helped Job ben Solomon return to his homeland in Africa. The memoir is one of the earliest slave-trade narratives. William Ansah (or Unsah) Sessarakoo (fl. 1736-1749), the son of a wealthy Ghanaian and African slave trader, is best known for being released from slavery in the West Indies and taken to London, where he became a celebrity. His memoirs were published in 1750 as 'The Royal African: or, Memoirs of the Young Prince of Annamaboe'. He later returned to Africa.
