Highlights
"Mary Prince was the first enslaved black woman to give her story and publish her autobiography about the brutality of enslavement, entitled ‘The History of Mary Prince’, which was published in 1831 and considered to be extremely controversial and significant because it was “instrumental in helping to dismantle Enslavement throughout The British Colonies, including Bermuda and the Caribbean.” In 2012 she was inducted as a Bermuda National Hero and in 2020 Mary Prince Day was established in Bermuda"
