Simone Hayes reads extracts from two black authors writing at the end of the 18th century. First reading is from Ukasaw Gronniosaw's "A narrative of the Most Remarkable Particulars in the Life of James Albert Ukasaw Groniasaw, an African Prince, as Related by Himself" published in 1772. The second reading comes from Olaudah Equiano's "Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavuss Vassa, the African" published in 1789. Both of these writers spent some time in Norwich.
