182-year Old Letter: How I Was Sold Into Slavery – Ajayi Crowther by Kazeem26: 11:59pm On Oct 28, 2019 |
One of the victims of slave trade was Bishop Ajayi Crowther, though rescued along with some other captives by some British anti-slavery frigates on the Atlantic before the vessel that carried them sailed to the Americas. Sourced from, A Patriot to The Core: Bishop Ajayi Crowther by Professor J. F. Ade-Ajayi, in this 182-year old letter, Crowther narrated how he was captured as a boy, sold, bartered for disposable articles, rescued and others. Ajayi Crowther was ordained as the first African bishop of the Anglican Church. He was 12 years old when he was captured, along with his mother and toddler brother and other family members, along with his entire village, by Muslim Fulani slave raiders in 1821 and sold to Portuguese slave traders. In his 1837 letter to Rev. Williams Jowett, then Secretary of the Church Missionary Society, Crowther narrated his capture into slavery and rescue.
