Love this book!!!! Loved Charles Ignatius from when I first learned of him around 7 years ago. Thank you Paterson Joseph for being that person to bring his story alive like no other has before! This book is a touchstone in the Sancho story/history.
Juan Latino (born Juan de Sessa; Ethiopia c. 1518 - Granada, c. 1594/1597) was a Spanish professor of Ethiopian descent at the University of Granada during the sixteenth century. He could be considered the first African who studied at a European university and who reached a professorship on Grammar and Latin Language at the University of Granada.
I wonder if the new novel will mention that in 1774 he established himself as a grocer and sold tobacco, cotton and other products from the plantations....... all produced by his kinsmen. So he profited from slry. If there is a statue it ought to be pulled down. John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu, set up an orphanage and gave financial assistance to another boy of similar tincture. His wife was a Churchill and gave Charles a small fortune.
@@joshuawaring4180 Except the author fails to condemn him, but makes excuses - it's okay to be involved in slave related commerce if you are black, but if you are white then you are cancelled!
