Join exhibition curator Victoria Avery, alongside researchers Dawnanna Kreeger and Carol Brown-Leonardi, as they share their latest findings on prominent abolitionist and writer Olaudah Equiano (c.1745 - 1797) and the two pivotal women in his life: his wife, Susannah Cullen (1762–1796), from Ely, and his daughter, Joanna Vassa (1795–1857), born in Soham, raised in Chesterton and Cambridge, and later living in London.
