Missionary
Enslaved. Free before 13th Amendment. Captured into slavery when his father sent him to receive a Western education, Quamino became possibly one of the first two African Americans to attend college in the American colonies. His death in the American Revolution derailed his plans to return to Africa as a missionary.
