The Story Of The Sons Of Africa | Drunk History: Black Stories

Watch Drunk History: Black Stories to learn a thing or two about historical Black figures. But be careful, drink responsibly.

The Sons of Africa are the hidden faces behind the movement to abolish slavery in the United Kingdom. Comedian Jamali Maddix tells us of the actions of Ignatius Sancho, Olaudah Equiano & Ottobah Cugaono who risked assassination, deportation and the threat of being financially ruined by taking risks that inspired more former slaves to come forward and be heard. These Sons of Africa are just a few names among many other Black activists who deserve to be known for their role in the end of slavery in the United Kingdom.
