Mary Prince

  • “I have been a slave myself — I know what slaves feel — I can tell by myself what other slaves feel, and by what they have told me. The man that says slaves be quite happy in slavery — that they don't want to be free — that man is either ignorant or a lying person. I never heard a slave say so.”

Mary Prince, Bermuda-born English writer

(1788 - 1833)
