Prince Among Slaves

In 1788 the slave ship Africa, set sail from West Africa and headed for America with its cargo - hundreds of men, women and children bound in chains. One of them, a 26-year-old man named Abdul-Rahman made a remarkable claim to the farmer who later purchased him at auction that he was an African prince and that his father would pay gold for his ransom. The offer was refused and Abdul-Rahman did not return to Africa for another 40 years. (imdb)
