About this title

Synopsis

Abdul Rahman Ibrahima was an African Prince, who was stolen from his home and his people in Timbo, West Africa and taken to Natchez, Mississippi in 1788. That was a period when America shamefully participated in one of the largest slave trade businesses in history. Ibrahima would finally gain his emancipation in 1828, but it was a bitter-sweet occurrence. Prince Ibrahima sustained a gallant attitude, although he lived an obscure life as a slave on a plantation in America and not the noble ruler of his country, Futa Jallon as he was at the time of his capture. Abdul Rahman probably felt dejected in his situation, but he could not be destroyed. He had the poise of a prince, the sophistication of a nobleman and the charisma of a military commander. Abdul Rahman was a natural leader who showed his abilities as a young boy and as a man.

About the Author

Beverly is a native of Natchez by heritage. Both her parents, (the late) Rogers Adams III and Annie Augustine Randall Adams (a descendant of Prince Ibrahima) were born and raised in Natchez, Adams County. Beverly was born at the Fort McClellan Army Hospital; she is the third of four daughters; her sisters are Lenifer L. Adams, Jacqueline J. Adams, and Deatric D. Adams Curtis. MSG Rogers Adams retired from the United States Armed Forces Army after service of over twenty years; they lived around the world in Ethiopia, Africa; Okinawa, Japan; Ankara and Karamursel, Turkey; Fort Devens, Massachusetts; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Polk, Louisiana; Heidelberg, Germany, where Beverly graduated from Heidelberg American High School; they traveled to Paris, Italy, Spain, Holland, Greece, and Berlin; she also lived in Atlanta, Georgia, and Houston, Texas. After traveling around the world, Beverly settled in Natchez, Mississippi. Beverly moved to Natchez by choice, unlike Abdul Rahman; he was transported to Natchez involuntarily on a slave ship.
