18th Century Anti-Slavery Campaigner awarded English Heritage blue plaque
The anti-slavery campaigner Ottobah Cugoano has been honoured with an English Heritage blue plaque. The plaque marks Schomberg House at 80–82 Pall Mall, where Cugoano, a former slave himself, was employed as a servant by artists Richard and Maria Cosway. It was while living here in the 1780s that Cugoano wrote the book, Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species, Humbly Submitted to the Inhabitants of Great-Britain, one of the first black-authored anti-slavery books to be published in Britain, and – of its era – the most radical in its arguments.
