We have been thinking about Nicholas Said again. This short video on his life does a nice job explaining who he was, but we're thinking about Said's autobiographical writings and legacy as part of a larger story of Borno natives abroad through the slave trade. This would take us to Brazil, Saint-Domingue (Haiti), possibly Cuba, Sierra Leone (as well as other parts of West Africa), Tripoli, Turkey, and the US. We are still unsure of James Albert actually being a Bornoan, but we'd like to include him alongside Ali Eisami and Nicholas Said as among our most usable sources.
