Miscellaneous
In this episode we discuss the life of Richard Pierpoint, or at least the parts of it that are known. He was born in West Africa and trafficked into slavery in America in the late 18th century. He eventually gained his freedom, and moved to Canada as a Loyalist. As a black man he was mistreated by the British government in Canada, but he persevered and fought for his rights and the compensation he was owed as a soldier. music by V►LH►LL vlhll.bandcamp.com
