Lady Sara Forbes The Yoruba Slave Who Became Goddaughter To The Queen Of England by opeyemiieblog(op): 6:30am On Jan 13, 2016
Lady Sara Forbes Bonetta (1843-1880) was a Yoruba Egbado Omoba who was orphaned in
intertribal warfare, sold into slavery, and in a
remarkable twist of events, was liberated from enslavement, and became a goddaughter to
Queen of England, Queen Victoria.
