Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745 – 31 March 1797), known in his lifetime as Gustavus Vassa (/ˈvæsə/), was a prominent African in London, a freed slave who supported the British movement to end the slave trade. His autobiography, published in 1789 and attracting wide attention, was considered highly influential in gaining passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807, which ended the African trade for Britain and its colonies.
Since the late 20th century, there has been some debate on his origins, but most of his account has been extensively documented. His last master was Robert King, an American Quaker merchant who allowed Equiano to trade on his own account and purchase his freedom in 1766. Equiano settled in England in 1767 and worked and traveled for another 20 years as a seafarer, merchant, and explorer in the Caribbean, the Arctic, the American colonies, South and Central America, and the United Kingdom.
In London, Equiano (identifying as Gustavus Vassa during his lifetime) was part of the Sons of Africa, an abolitionist group composed of prominent Africans living in Britain, and he was active among leaders of the anti-slave trade movement in the 1780s. He published his autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), which depicted the horrors of slavery. It went through nine editions and aided passage of the British Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the African slave trade. Since 1967, his memoir has been regarded as the "true beginning of modern African literature".
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African, first published in 1789, is the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. The narrative is argued to be a variety of styles, such as a slavery narrative, travel narrative, and spiritual narrative. The book describes Equiano's time spent in enslavement, and documents his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his own freedom and in business thereafter.

Plot: "Enslaved" traces the origins of the institution of slavery. In the earliest days of colonial America there were no slaves, but the need for labor led the colonists to seek workers anywhere they could be found. At first they used European systems of servitude-apprentices and indentured servants- but those contractual arrangements eventually gave way to a legalized system of slavery. "Enslaved" features a segment on indentured servants and a segment of the Punch case of 1640, in which a black indentured servant ran away with two white indentured servants. The white men were whipped for their crime, but the black man was sentenced to servitude for life. This was the first documented instance of lifetime servitude on the American colonies. The program also traced the legal progression of slavery in colonial America.

Genres: ,The story of Olaudah Equiano, a black slave who emerged from the horrors of the African holocaust to become an English gentleman, marry a white woman and write one of the most influential books of his generation - his autobiography.

Das gesamte Interview hier: http://www.LebenskraftKongress.org Innere Nahrung ist ein treffenderer Begriff für das Phänomen der Lichtnahrung. Es handelt sich dabei um keine neue Ernährungsweise als vielmehr um einen Zustand des Menschen, von innenheraus versorgt und genährt zu sein. Unglaublich? Immer wieder finden sich in der Menschheitsgeschichte Berichte über Leute, die nicht mehr zu essen brauchten. In Indien und China sind solche Praktiken teils bis heute erhalten geblieben, doch der stärker wissenschaftlich geprägte Westen hat den Blick für solche außergewöhnlichen Normalitäten verloren. Bis eines Tages die Australierin Jasmuheen das Thema der Lichtnahrung einer breiteren Masse zugänglich machte und in einem ihrer Bücher den 21-Tage-Umstellungsprozess vorstellte. Bis heute sind di...
Bei diesem Interview kamen Götz Wittneben und Equiano Intensio zusammen, um sich über das Thema der Selbsterkenntnis aus einem ganzheitlichen Blickwinkel zu unterhalten. Equiano durchlebte im Lauf der letzten Jahre mehrere Grenzerfahrungen, unter anderem lebte er für ein Jahr ohne Kontakt zur Zivilisation in einem Wald, fast ein halbes Jahr in einem indischen Ashram, erlebte den sogenannten Lichtnahrungsprozess und aß für ein paar Monate kaum, durchwachte viele Nächte in Peru und erfuhr sich sieben Tage in einer Dunkelkammer in Guatemala. Bei all diesen Selbsterfahrungen fand Equiano eine paradoxe Wahrheit hinter der Kulisse des sichtbaren Lebens. Sein Studium und sein Wirken geht nicht nur dahin, körperlich wieder gesund zu werden und Frieden im Verstand zu finden. Ihn interessiert, welc...

OBV was given an exclusive interview by the brilliant author of 'Reap the forgotten harvest'. In conversation with OBV's Director Simon Woolley, Remi Kapo talks about what motivated him to write an epic saga about slavery, and African resistance that covers three continents. In this first part he talks about life on a slave ship, Africans who were implicit in the slave trade, and how he had to get in the mind set of brutal and sadistic individuals.

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.
I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.
All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
